"Better As a Memory"
Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, 2007
Songwriters: Scooter Carusoe, Lady Goodman
Tabbed by Dan Pera

Another fella put this up after the hack with some
imperfections. Since there was also a demand for the
little intro riff, I thought I'd put 'em together.

The little riff (if you can even call it that) fits
throughout the whole song.

(First verse fingerpicked)

D
I move on like a sinner's prayer
A
I let 'em go like a levee breaks
Bm
Walk away as if I don't care
G
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
D
I'm built to fade like your favorite song
A
Getting reckless when there's no need
Bm
Laugh as your stories ramble on
G
Break my heart but it won't bleed
Bm A
My only friends are pirates, it's just who I am
G A D
I'm better as a memory than as your man

D
I'm never sure when the truth won't do
A
I'm pretty good on a lonely night
Bm
I move on the way a storm blows through
G
I never stay, but then again, I might
D
I struggle sometimes to find the words
A
Always sure until I doubt
Bm
Walk a line until it blurs
G
Build walls too high to climb out
Bm A
But, I'm honest to a fault, it's just who I am
G A D
I'm better as a memory than as your man

G D/F#
I see you leanin', you're bound to fall
A D
I don't wanna be that mistake
G D/F#
I'm just a dreamer, and nothing more
Em A
You should know it before it gets too late

D
Cause good-bye's are like a roulette wheel
A
You never know where they're gonna land
Bm
First you're spinning, then you're standing still
G
Left holding a losin' hand
D
One day you're gonna find someone
A
Right away, you'll know it's true
Bm
That all of your seeking is done
G
Its just a part of the passing through
Bm
Right there in that moment
A
You'll finally understand
G A Bm G
That I was better as a memory than as your man
G A D
Better as a memory than as your man
