Blue October – A Better Man (Guitar)

A
I blame myself

E                                   F#m
'Cause I thought there was something wrong with me

F#m                    C#m
I thought it would be easy

C#m             E
Just holding on

A          E
And now I see

E                    F#m
That there's no one close to me

F#M                       C#m
Yeah, that's not how it's supposed to be

C#m         E
I made them run

E            D            E             A
Watch me as I handmake my own stone wall

A            D                         E
There's a reason I won't ever let you in

E              A              E
Why they never mean what they say?

E                       F#m
Told me they'd come back here someday

D                                       E
Like my love was not enough for them to stay

E          A            E
Never any luck when I try

E                     F#m
Everyone's so good at goodbyes

D                                       E
But it's all I've ever known, to walk away

E                D         E                    F#m
So yeah, I'm gonna leave you and learn how to stand

F#m                D       E           A
But then I'm gonna come back a better man

A
I taught myself

E                       F#m
that no one could love me

F#m                       C#m
And it wouldn't be easy

C#m             E
This road I'm on

A
And now I'm gone

E                       F#m
My head's hanging low again

F#m             C#m
But God, I could use a friend

C#m               E
I didn't trust no one

E               D       E               F#m
You better calm down, yeah, Mr. Wrecking Ball

F#m       D                             E
There's a reason I won't ever let you in

E              A              E
Why they never mean what they say?

E                       F#m
Told me they'd come back here someday

D                                       E
Like my love was not enough for them to stay

E          A            E
Never any luck when I try

E                     F#m
Everyone's so good at goodbyes

D                                       E
But it's all I've ever known, to walk away

E                D         E                    F#m

F#m                D       E           A
But then I'm gonna come back a better man

D                       E
I've never gone this far before

C#m                             D
For something that I'm looking for

D               E
And I didn't ask for your help

E                   D
While I continue to find myself

D                  E
I could've told you

E             C#m           D
The road makes fools of us all

               A              E
Why they never mean what they say?

E                       F#m
Told me they'd come back here someday

D                                       E
Like my love was not enough for them to stay

E          A            E
Never any luck when I try

E                     F#m
Everyone's so good at goodbyes
