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