[Verse]
C G
I know I'm probably better off on my own
F 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 F
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
[Pre-Chorus]
F
I wish it wasn't 4 AM, standing in the mirror
G
Saying to myself, "You know you had to do it"
F F
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
[Chorus]
C G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C G
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C G F F
A better man
[Verse]
C G
I know I’m probably better off all alone
F
Than needing a man who could change his mind
F
At any given minute
C
And it was always on your terms
G
I waited on every careless word
F
Hoping they might turn sweet again
F
Like it was in the beginning
[Pre-Chorus]
F
But your jealousy, oh, I can hear it now
G
Talking down to me like I'd always be around
F F
Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun
G
Oh, you never thought I'd run
[Chorus]
C G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C G
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C G Am7 C/G F
A better man
[Bridge]
F G
I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have
F Am7
And I gave to you my best and we both know
C/G F
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
Am7 C/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 G
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C G
And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C
A better man (Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again)
G Am7 C/G
We might still be in love, if you were a better man (But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man)
F
Yeah, yeah
C G
I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
C
A better man
[Outro]
G
We might still be in love
F
If you were a better man
Am7 C/G
You would've been the one
C
If you were a better man
