Chords

If you have trouble with barre chords and still want the general sound of the song, [Intro] D A Bm G x2 [Verse 1]
                 D
I move on like a sinners prayer   

                      A   
And letting go like a levee breaks   

                 Bm   
Walk away as if I don't care   

                    G   
Learn to shoulder my mistakes   

                           D   
Or built to fade like your favorite song   

                  A   
Get reckless when there's no need   

                     Bm   
Laugh as your stories ramble on   

                      G   
Break my heart, but it won't bleed   

                    Bm   
My only friends are pirates   

                  A   
That's just who I am   

        G           A                  D   
But I'm better as a memory than as your man   
[Verse 2]
                    D   
Never sure when the truth won't do   

                     A   
I'm pretty good on a lonely night   

                    Bm   
I move on the way a storm blows through   

                       G   
I never stay, but then again, I might.   

                        D   
I struggle sometimes to find the words   

               A   
Always sure until I doubt   

                 Bm   
Walk a line until it blurs   

                       G   
Build walls too high to climb out   

                   Bm   
But I'm honest to a fault   

                A   
That's just who I am   

    G           A              D   
I'm better as a memory than as your man   
[Bridge]
G                  D   
I see you leaning, you're bound to fall   

A                       D   
I don't want to be that mistake   

 G                     D   
I'm just a dreamer and nothing more   

 G/B                              A   
You should know it before it gets too late
[Verse 3]
                          D   
Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel   

                            A   
You never know where they're gonna land   

                                   Bm   
First you're spinning, then you're standing still   

               G   
Left holding a losing hand   

                         D   
But one day you're gonna find someone   

                        A   
And right away you'll know it's true   

                  Bm   
That all of your sinking's done   

                           G   
It was just a part of the passing through   

                     Bm                    A   
Right there in that moment you'll finally understand   

           G           A                   Bm      A Bm  
That I was better as a memory than as your man   

G           A                   D
Better as a memory than as your man
[Outro] D A Bm G
