[Strophe]
C                               G 
I know I’m probably better off on my own 
                     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 
Never again, I just wish  
 
I could forget when it was magic
[Pre-Refrain]
                 F 
I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror 
       G 
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it 
  F 
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
[Refrain]
C 
Sometimes, in the middle of the night,  
      G 
I can feel you again 
           Am 
But I just miss you, and  
       G               F 
I just wish you were a better man 
      C 
And I know why we had to say goodbye 
         G 
Like the back of my hand 
           Am 
And I just miss you, and  
       G               F 
I just wish you were a better man 
             C 
A better man
[Strophe]
C                              G 
I know I’m probably better off all alone 
 
Than needing a man who could 
F 
  change his mind at any given minute 
                   C 
And it’s always on your terms 
                     G 
I’m hanging on every careless word 
                    F 
Hoping it might turn sweet again 
 
Like it was in the beginning
[Pre-Refrain]
         F 
But your jealousy, I can hear it now 
               G 
You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around 
            F 
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded * 
         G 
Boy, you never thought I’d run
[Refrain]
C 
Sometimes, in the middle of the night,  
      G 
I can feel you again 
           Am 
But I just miss you, and  
       G               F 
I just wish you were a better man 
      C 
And I know why we had to say goodbye 
         G 
Like the back of my hand 
           Am 
And I just miss you, and  
       G               F 
I just wish you were a better man 
             C G Am G F 
A better man
[Pont]
  F                                  G 
I hold onto this pride because these days it’s all I have 
      F                            Am       G         F 
And I gave you my best and we both know you can’t say that 
 
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 
   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
[Refrain]
C 
Sometimes, in the middle of the night,  
      G 
I can feel you again 
           Am 
But I just miss you, and  
       G               F 
I just wish you were a better man 
      C 
And I know why we had to say goodbye 
         G 
Like the back of my hand 
           Am 
And I just miss you, and  
       G               F           C 
I just wish you were a better man
[Outro]
   G                                     Am         G 
We might still be in love, if you were a better man 
       F 
Better man...
