Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, 2007
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)
I move on like a Dsinner's prayer
I let 'em go like a Alevee breaks
Walk away as if BmI don't care
Learn to shoulder Gmy mistakes
I'm built to fade like your Dfavorite song
Getting reckless when Athere's no need
Laugh as your stories Bmramble on
Break my heart but Git won't bleed
My only friends are Bmpirates, it's just who I Aam
I'm Gbetter as a Amemory than as your Dman
I'm never sure when the Dtruth won't do
I'm pretty good on a Alonely night
I move on the way a Bmstorm blows through
I never stay, but then Gagain, I might
I struggle sometimes to Dfind the words
Always sure Auntil I doubt
Walk a line Bmuntil it blurs
Build walls too high Gto climb out
But, I'm honest to a Bmfault, it's just who AI am
I'm Gbetter as a Amemory than Das your man
GI see you leanin', D/F#you're bound to fall
AI don't wanna be that Dmistake
GI'm just a dreamer, D/F#and nothing more
EmYou should know it before it gets too lAate
Cause good-bye's are like a Droulette wheel
You never know where they're Agonna land
First you're spinning, then you're Bmstanding still
Left holding a Glosin' hand
One day you're gonna Dfind someone
Right away, you'll Aknow it's true
That all of your Bmseeking is done
Its just a part of the Gpassing through
Right there in that Bmmoment
You'll finally undeArstand
That I was Gbetter as a Amemory than Bmas your Gman
GBetter as a Amemory than Das your man

Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, 2007

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)

I move on like a sinner's prayer

I let 'em go like a levee breaks

Walk away as if I don't care

Learn to shoulder my mistakes

I'm built to fade like your favorite song

Getting reckless when there's no need

Laugh as your stories ramble on

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

I'm never sure when the truth won't do

I'm pretty good on a lonely night

I move on the way a storm blows through

I never stay, but then again, I might

I struggle sometimes to find the words

Always sure until I doubt

Walk a line until it blurs

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

Cause good-bye's are like a roulette wheel

You never know where they're gonna land

First you're spinning, then you're standing still

Left holding a losin' hand

One day you're gonna find someone

Right away, you'll know it's true

That all of your seeking is done

Its just a part of the passing through

Right there in that moment

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
