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