Tuning: E A D G B E

Kenny Chesney "Better As a Memory" Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, 2007 Songwriters: Scooter Carusoe, Lady Goodman Tabbed by Dan Pera Another fella put this up after the hack with some imperfections. Since there was also a demand for the little intro riff, I thought I'd put 'em together. The little riff (if you can even call it that) fits throughout the whole song. e-----------------------| B--3-3-3-5-3-5-3--------| G-----------------------| D-----------------------| A-----------------------| E-----------------------| (First verse fingerpicked)

I move on like a^D sinner's prayer I let 'em go like a ^Alevee breaks Walk away as if^Bm I don't care Learn to shoulder ^Gmy mistakes I'm built to fade like your ^Dfavorite song Getting reckless when ^Athere's no need Laugh as your stories ^Bmramble on Break my heart but ^Git won't bleed My only friends are^Bm pirates, it's just who I ^Aam I'm ^Gbetter as a ^Amemory than as your ^Dman

I'm never sure when the ^Dtruth won't do I'm pretty good on a ^Alonely night I move on the way a ^Bmstorm blows through I never stay, but then ^Gagain, I might I struggle sometimes to ^Dfind the words Always sure ^Auntil I doubt Walk a line ^Bmuntil it blurs Build walls too high ^Gto climb out But, I'm honest to a ^Bmfault, it's just who ^AI am I'm ^Gbetter as a ^Amemory than ^Das your man

^GI see you leanin', ^D/F#you're bound to fall ^AI don't wanna be that ^Dmistake ^GI'm just a dreamer, ^D/F#and nothing more ^EmYou should know it before it gets too l^Aate

Cause good-bye's are like a ^Droulette wheel You never know where they're ^Agonna land First you're spinning, then you're ^Bmstanding still Left holding a ^Glosin' hand One day you're gonna ^Dfind someone Right away, you'll ^Aknow it's true That all of your ^Bmseeking is done Its just a part of the ^Gpassing through Right there in that ^Bmmoment You'll finally unde^Arstand That I was ^Gbetter as a ^Amemory than ^Bmas your ^Gman ^GBetter as a ^Amemory than ^Das your man
