Intro: F C Bb 

Verse 
F                              C 
I know I’m probably better off on my own 
C                      Bb 
Than lovin' a man who didn’t know 
Bb 
What he had when he had it 
    F                               C 
And I see the permanent damage you did to me 
C                     Bb 
Never again, I just wish  
Bb 
I could forget when it was magic 
Bb 
I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror 
       C 
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it 
    Bb 
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run 

F 
Sometimes, in the middle of the night,  
       C 
I can feel you again 
            Dm 
But I just miss you, and  
        C               Bb 
I just wish you were a better man 
       F 
And I know why we had to say goodbye 
            C 
Like the back of my hand 
            Dm 
And I just miss you, and  
         C               Bb 
I just wish you were a better man 
           F 
A better man

Verse
F                                C 
I know I’m probably better off all alone 
C 
Than needing a man who could  
Bb 
change his mind at any given minute 
           F 
And it’s always on your terms 
                       C 
I’m hanging on every careless word 
C                     Bb 
Hoping it might turn sweet again 
Bb 
Like it was in the beginning 
Bb 
But your jealousy, I can hear it now 
                 C 
You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around 
                   Bb 
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded * 
         C 
Boy, you never thought I’d run 

F 
Sometimes, in the middle of the night,  
       C 
I can feel you again 
            Dm 
But I just miss you, and  
        C               Bb 
I just wish you were a better man 
       F 
And I know why we had to say goodbye 
            C 
Like the back of my hand 
            Dm 
And I just miss you, and  
         C               Bb 
I just wish you were a better man 
           F C Dm C Bb 
A better man 


Bridge 
   Bb                                 C 
I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have 
       Bb                             Dm      C        Bb 
And I gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that 
Bb 
You can’t say that 
                     F 
I wish you were a better man 
F        C 
I wonder what we would’ve become 
                Bb 
If you were a better man 
     C 
We might still be in love 
               F 
If you were a better man 
F        C 
You would’ve been the one 
                 Bb 
If you were a better man 
Bb 
Yeah, yeah

Sometimes, in the middle of the night,

            C 
Like the back of my hand 
            Dm 
And I just miss you, and  
         C               Bb 
I just wish you were a better man
