Better Man

	  		

 
     Gm 
When you shut down 
The world drops dead 
    F                Eb 
And I’m not there to hold your head 
Gm                                  F 
I just let the tears roll down your face 
    Eb 
Yet another mistake 
     Gm 
Well I could beg to you all night 
    F                 Eb 
But you’ll say you’ve made up your mind 
  Gm                             F 
I told ya I’m a better man, I’ve changed 
        Eb 
But you think I’m still the same 

Verse 1:
 
Gm                     F     Eb 
Sometimes, sometimes I wonder 
Gm 
Why we hold tight to someone we know? 
          F                    Eb 
Who could squash out the fire, convert to smoke? 
               Gm 
‘Cause when we hit rock bottom, the dust finally settled 
          F                            Eb 
We looked up to the last spot, that we hit rock bottom 
       Gm 
And we wonder how we’ve fallen even deeper deeper down 
           F                                 Eb 
‘Cause the fight we had before this, we were sure we’d bottomed out 

Pre-Chorus
 
    Gm     F                    Eb 
And I have done everything that I could do 
   Gm     F              Eb 
So I will take the L and move on 


 
     Gm 
When you shut down 
The world drops dead 
    F                Eb 
And I’m not there to hold your head 
Gm                                  F 
I just let the tears roll down your face 
    Eb 
Yet another mistake 
     Gm 
Well I could beg to you all night 
    F                 Eb 
But you’ll say you’ve made up your mind 
  Gm                             F 
I told ya I’m a better man, I’ve changed 
        Eb 
But you think I’m still the same 

Verse 2:

Gm 
You told me that it’s over 
Said “I barely even know ya” 
       F                       Eb 
Sad to see this cookie crumble apart I guess 
         Gm 
That our love wasn’t meant to be, on no 
         F               Eb 
But I’ll miss all our memories 
     Gm 
Aye, could it be the winter? let’s take it back to summer time 
F                 Eb 
Road trippin’ the Cali coast, we’d make a toast 
         Gm 
From the seaside in Laguna to the stars under Yosemite 
  F                               Eb 
I never would’ve thought that any day, you’d slip away from me 

Pre-Chorus

    Gm     F                    Eb 
And I have done everything that I could do 
   Gm     F              Eb 
So I will take the L and move on 



     Gm 
When you shut down 
The world drops dead 
    F                Eb 
And I’m not there to hold your head 
Gm                                  F 
I just let the tears roll down your face 
    Eb 
Yet another mistake 
     Gm 
Well I could beg to you all night 
    F                 Eb 
But you’ll say you’ve made up your mind 
  Gm                             F 
I told ya I’m a better man, I’ve changed 
        Eb 
But you think I’m still the same
