As recorded by Midland (From the 2024 Album BARELY BLUE) [Intro] C F Dm G [Verse 1]
C                                F
You still talk about him in your sleep

    Dm                                   G
And I know that you think he's just some secret you keep

  C                                   F
I came along right when he broke your heart

Dm                                Gsus4          G
You gave most to me, but he still holds a couple parts
[Pre-Chorus]
  Am                             F
I know that it would kill you if you knew that I knew

Dm                                    G
Let me help you let go of what you're holding on to
[Chorus]
      C                F
I can be better than a memory

                        Dm
I can lay you down with both hands

                        G
Hold you tighter than a ghost can

       C                Am                 F              Dm
Let me kiss all of that miss-him right out of your lips tonight

          F
It's just you and me

      G                       C      F  Dm  G
Baby, let me be better than a memory
[Verse 2]
    C                                  F
You never make me feel like this won't last

    Dm                              G
But I can't see the future when I'm wrеstlin' with your past

  C                                      F
I know what's in your heart, but in your head

Dm                                      Gsus4           G
If he's still hеre between us, it's too crowded in this bed
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                           F
Words can't be unspoken, but wrongs can be made right

     Dm                                   G
Just keep those blue eyes open when we're turning off the lights
[Chorus]
      C                F
I can be better than a memory

                        Dm
I can lay you down with both hands

                        G
Hold you tighter than a ghost can

       C                Am                 F              Dm
Let me kiss all of that miss-him right out of your lips tonight

          F
It's just you and me

      G                       C
Baby, let me be better than a memory
[Bridge]
              Em                        Dm
I'll always be a slow hand and a steady shoulder

                     G
If you need a little love to get you over
[Chorus]
      C                F
I can be better than a memory

                        Dm
I can lay you down with both hands

                        G
Hold you tighter than a ghost can

       C                Am                 F              Dm
Let me kiss all of that miss-him right out of your lips tonight

          F
It's just you and me

      G                       C
Baby, let me be better than a memory
[Outro] C F Dm Gsus4 G C
