Intro
[E]
Verse 1
[E]I know I’m probably better off [B]on my own
Than [A]lovin' a man who didn’t know
What he [A]had when he had it
And [E]I see the permanent damage you [B]did to me
Never again, I just [A]wish I could forget when it was magic
[E]I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror
[B]Saying to myself, you know you had to do it
[A]I know the bravest thing I ever did was [B]run
Chorus
[E]Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can [B]feel you again
But I just [C#m]miss you, and I just wish you were a [A]better man
And I [E]know why we had to say goodbye
Like the [B]back of my hand
And I just [C#m]miss you, and I just wish you were a [A]better man
[A]A better man
Verse 2
[E]I know I’m probably better off [B]all alone
Than needing a man who could [A]change his mind
At [A]any given minute
And it’s always on your [E]terms
I’m hanging on every [B]careless word
Hoping it might turn [A]sweet again
[A]Like it was in the beginning
But your [E]jealousy, I can hear it now
You’re talking [B]down to me like I’ll always be around
You push my [A]love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun
Boy, you [B]never thought I’d run
Chorus
[E]Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can [B]feel you again
But I just [C#m]miss you, and I just wish you were a [A]better man
And I [E]know why we had to say goodbye
Like the [B]back of my hand
And I just [C#m]miss you, and I just wish you were a [A]better man
[A]A better man [E] [B]
[E] [B] [A]
Bridge
I [A]hold onto this pride because these [B]days it’s all I have
And I g[C#m]gave you my best and we both know you [B]can’t say [C#m]that
[C#m]You can’t say that
No, [A]you can’t say that
I wish you were a [E]better man
I wonder [B]what we would’ve become
If you were a [C#m]better man
We [A]might still be in love
If you were a [E]better man
You [B]would’ve been the one
If you were a [C#m]better man
[A]Yeah, yeah
Chorus
[E]Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can [B]feel you again
But I just [C#m]miss you, and I just wish you were a [A]better man
And I [E]know why we had to say goodbye
Like the [B]back of my hand
And I just [C#m]miss you, and I just wish you were a [A]better man
Outro
If you were a [E]better man
We [B]might still be in love
If you were a [C#m]better man
You [A]would’ve been the [B]one
If you were a [E]better man
