[Verse 1]
CI know I'm probably better off Gon my own
Than lovin’ a man who Fdidn't know what he had when heF had it
CAnd I see the permanent damage you Gdid to me
Never again, I just Fwish I could forget when it wasF magic
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish it wasn't F4 AM, standing in the mirror
Saying Gto myself, "You know you had to do it"
I kFnow the bravest thing I ever did was rFun
[Chorus]
CSometimes, in the middle of the night, I can Gfeel you again
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I Cknow why we had to say goodbye like the Gback of my hand
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A CbeGttFerF man
[Verse 2]
CI know I’m probably better off Gall alone
Than needing a man who Fcould change his mind
At any given mFinute
And it was always Con your terms
I waited on every Gcareless word
Hoping they might turn Fsweet again
Like it was in the Fbeginning
[Pre-Chorus]
But your jFealousy, oh, I can hear it now
Talking Gdown to me like I'd always be around
Push my Flove away like it was some kind of loadeFd gun
Oh, you Gnever thought I'd run
[Chorus]
CSometimes, in the middle of the night, I can Gfeel you again
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I Cknow why we had to say goodbye like the Gback of my hand
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A CbetGterAm7 manC/G F
[Bridge]
I Fhold onto this pride because these daGys it's all I have
And I Fgave to you my best and we both kAm7now
you caC/Gn't say thFat
I wish you were a Cbetter man
I wonder whGat we would've become
If you were a bFetter man
We mAm7ight still be in lC/Gove
If you were a Cbetter man
You wGould've been the one
If you were a bFetter man
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
CSometimes, in the middle of the night, I can Gfeel you again
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
And I Cknow why we had to say goodbye like the Gback of my hand
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A better maCn
(Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I can feel you again)
We miGght still be in love, if you were a bAm7etter C/Gman
(But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man)
FYeah, yeah
CI know why we had to say goodbye like the Gback of my hand
Am7 (C/G) F
But I just miss you, and I just wish you were a better man
A beCtter man
