[Intro]
E Bm A A
[Verse 1]
E Bm
I know I’m probably better off on my own
A
Than lovin' a man who didn’t know
A
What he had when he had it
E Bm
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
A
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
A
I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror
Bm
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it
A A
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
[Chorus]
E Bm
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
C#m Bm A
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
E
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Bm
Like the back of my hand
C#m Bm A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
E
A better man
[Verse 2]
E Bm
I know I’m probably better off all alone
A
Than needing a man who could change his mind at any given minute
E
And it’s always on your terms
Bm
I’m hanging on every careless word
A
Hoping it might turn sweet again
A
Like it was in the beginning
A
But your jealousy, I can hear it now
Bm
You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around
A
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun
Bm
Boy, you never thought I’d run
[Chorus]
E Bm
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
C#m Bm A
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
E
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Bm
Like the back of my hand
C#m Bm A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
E Bm
A better man
A
Better man
[Bridge]
A Bm
I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have
A C#m Bm A(let ring)
And I gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that
You can’t say that
E
I wish you were a better man
Bm
I wonder what we would’ve become
A
If you were a better man
Bm
We might still be in love
E
If you were a better man
Bm
You would’ve been the one
A
If you were a better man
A
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
E Bm
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
C#m Bm A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
E
And I know why we had to say goodbye
Bm
Like the back of my hand
C#m Bm A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
[Outro]
A
Bm A
We might still be in love, if you were a better man
Bm A
You could have been the one, if you were a better man
Bm C#m Bm
We might still be in love, if you were a better man
A (once and let ring)
Better man
