[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E B
I know I’m probably better off on my own
A
Than lovin’ a man who didn’t know
What he had when he had it
E B
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
B
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it
A A
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
[Chorus]
E B
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
C#m 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
B
Like the back of my hand
C#m A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
[Verse 2]
E B
I’m waiting on every careless word
A
Hoping they might turn sweet again
Like it was in the beginning
A
But your jealousy, I can hear it now
B
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
B
No, you never thought I’d run
[Chorus]
E B
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
C#m 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
B
Like the back of my hand
C#m A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A E B
A better man
E B A
[Bridge]
A B
I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have
C#m B C#m
And I gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that
C#m
You can’t say that
A
No, you can’t say that
E
I wish you were a better man
B
I wonder what we would’ve become
C#m
If you were a better man
A
We might still be in love
E
If you were a better man
B
You would’ve been the one
C#m
If you were a better man
A
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
E B
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again
C#m 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
B
Like the back of my hand
C#m A
And I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
[Outro]
E
If you were a better man
B
We might still be in love
C#m
If you were a better man
A B
You would’ve been the one
E
If you were a better man
