------------------------------ [Intro] C G F [Verse]
C                               G
I know I'm probably better off on my own

                     F
Than lovin' a man who didn't know
What he had when he had it
    C                              G
And I see the permanent damage you did to me

                   F
Never again, I just wish 
I could forget when it was magic [Pre-chorus]
                 F
I wish it wasn't 4am, standing in the mirror

       G
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it

  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 

       G               F
I just wish you were a better man

      C
And I know why we had to say goodbye

         G
Like the back of my hand

           Am
And I just miss you, and 

       G               F
I just wish you were a better man

             C
A better man
[Verse]
C                              G
I know I'm probably better off all alone
Than needing a man who could
F
  change his mind at any given minute

                   C
And it's always on your terms

                     G
I'm hanging on every careless word

                    F
Hoping it might turn sweet again
Like it was in the beginning [Pre-chorus]
         F
But your jealousy, I can hear it now

               G
You're talking down to me like I'll always be around

            F
You push my love away like it's some kind of loaded *

         G
Boy, 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 

       G               F
I just wish you were a better man

      C
And I know why we had to say goodbye

         G
Like the back of my hand

           Am
And I just miss you, and 

       G               F
I just wish you were a better man

             C G Am G F
A better man
[Bridge]
  F                                  G
I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have

      F                            Am       G         F
And I gave you my best and we both know you can't say that
You can't say that
                  C
I wish you were a better man

         G
I wonder what we would've become

             F
If you were a better man

   G
We might still be in love

              C
If you were a better man

    G
You would've been the one

              F
If you were a better man
Yeah, yeah [Chorus]
C
Sometimes, in the middle of the night, 

      G
I can feel you again

           Am
But I just miss you, and 

       G               F
I just wish you were a better man

      C
And I know why we had to say goodbye

         G
Like the back of my hand

           Am
And I just miss you, and 

       G               F           C
I just wish you were a better man
[Outro]
   G                                     Am         G       
We might still be in love, if you were a better man

       F
Better man...
