Note: this is the album version, her Bluebird Cafe version is the same,
except the intro is C and you hammer on your middle finger to the D string.

[Verse 1]
C G I know I'm probably better off on my own F 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 F Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
[Pre-Chorus]
F I wish it wasn't 4 AM, standing in the mirror G Saying to myself, "You know you had to do it" F F I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
[Chorus]
C G Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again Am7 (C/G) F But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man C G And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand Am7 (C/G) F But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man C G F F A better man
[Verse 2]
C G I know I’m probably better off all alone F Than needing a man who could change his mind F At any given minute C And it was always on your terms G I waited on every careless word F Hoping they might turn sweet again F Like it was in the beginning
[Pre-Chorus]
F But your jealousy, oh, I can hear it now G Talking down to me like I'd always be around F F Push my love away like it was some kind of loaded gun G Oh, you never thought I'd run
[Chorus]
C G Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again Am7 (C/G) F But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man C G And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand Am7 (C/G) F But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man C G Am7 C/G F A better man
[Bridge]
F G I hold onto this pride because these days it's all I have F Am7 And I gave to you my best and we both know C/G F 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 Am7 C/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 G Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again Am7 (C/G) F But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man C G And I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand Am7 (C/G) F But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man C A better man
(Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again)
G Am7 C/G We might still be in love, if you were a better man
(But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man)
F Yeah, yeah C G I know why we had to say goodbye like the back of my hand Am7 (C/G) F But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man C A better man
[Outro]
G We might still be in love F If you were a better man Am7 C/G You would've been the one C If you were a better man
