[Intro] C  G4  F2   
 
C                              G4   
I know I'm probably better off on my own 
                      F2   
Than lovin' a man who didn't know 

What he had when he had it 
    C                               G4   
And I see the permanent damage you did to me 
                    F2   
Never again, I just wish  

I could forget when it was magic 
F2   
I wish it wasn't 4am, standing in the mirror 
       G4   
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it 
    F2   
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run 

C
Sometimes, in the middle of the night,  
       G4   
I can feel you again 
            Am
But I just miss you, and  
        G4              F2   
I just wish you were a better man 
       C
And I know why we had to say goodbye 
          G4   
Like the back of my hand 
            Am
And I just miss you, and  
        G4              F2   
I just wish you were a better man 
           C
A better man 
  
( C )

C                               G4   
I know I'm probably better off all alone 

Than needing a man who could  
F2   
change his mind at any given minute 
                    C
And it's always on your terms 
                      G4   
I'm hanging on every careless word 
                    F2   
Hoping it might turn sweet again 

Like it was in the beginning 
          F2   
But your jealousy, I can hear it now 
                G4   
You're talking down to me like I'll always be around 
           F2   
You push my love away like it's some kind of loaded gun 
         G4   
Boy, you never thought I'd run 

C
Sometimes, in the middle of the night,  
       G
I can feel you again 
            Am
But I just miss you, and  
       G4               F2   
I just wish you were a better man 
       C
And I know why we had to say goodbye 
          G4   
Like the back of my hand 
            Am
And I just miss you, and  
       G4               F2   
I just wish you were a better man 
          C  G4     Am G4    F2   
A better man 
 
   F2                                 G4   
I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have 
       F2                             Am       G         F2   
And I gave to you my best and we both know you can't say that 
 
                   C
I wish you were a better man 
         G4   
I wonder what we would've become 
               F2   
If you were a better man 
    G4   
We might still be in love 
               C
If you were a better man 
      G4   
You would've been the one 
               F2   
If you were a better man 
F2   
Yeah, yeah

Sometimes, in the middle of the night,

I just wish you were a better man

A better man

      G4                                  Am     G4   
We might still be in love, if you were a better man

F2   
Yeah, yeah

If you were a better man
