"Better As a Memory" Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, 2007 Songwriters: Scooter Carusoe, Lady Goodman Tabbed by Dan Pera Another fella put this up after the hack with some imperfections. Since there was also a demand for the little intro riff, I thought I'd put 'em together. The little riff (if you can even call it that) fits throughout the whole song.

(First verse fingerpicked)
                D
I move on like a sinner's prayer

                    A
I let 'em go like a levee breaks

               Bm
Walk away as if I don't care

                  G
Learn to shoulder my mistakes

                            D
I'm built to fade like your favorite song

                      A
Getting reckless when there's no need

                      Bm
Laugh as your stories ramble on

                   G
Break my heart but it won't bleed

                   Bm                        A
My only friends are pirates, it's just who I am

    G           A                   D
I'm better as a memory than as your man

                        D
I'm 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                   A
But, I'm honest to a fault, it's just who I am

    G           A           D
I'm better as a memory than as your man

G                  D/F#
I see you leanin', you're bound to fall

A                     D
I don't wanna be that mistake

G                   D/F#
I'm just a dreamer, and nothing more

Em                                     A
You should know it before it gets too late

                            D
Cause good-bye's 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 losin' hand

                     D
One day you're gonna find someone

                   A
Right away, you'll know it's true

                 Bm
That all of your seeking is done

                       G
Its just a part of the passing through

                    Bm
Right there in that moment

                   A
You'll finally understand

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

G           A           D
Better as a memory than as your man
