Because I Love You

            Em
Do you want me to
                   C
Tell you something 'bout me that'll comfort you
           G
Hair color blond, eye color blue
            B
Socks don't match, no polished shoes
              Em
I come from a land that's covered in grass
     C
Everybody's in love with cash
         G
We gotta lot of that money, it's rad
                B
Cause we shed a whole lot of blood in the past
       Em
Funny, nobody taught me in class
              C
Stuff that we did that was awfully bad
           G
Robbed and grabbed and conquered land
              B
And still somehow we forget what we have
Em                           C
All that we have, I've never wanted for nothing
           G                           B
I wanna be thankful more often, more gentle, softer


[Pre-Chorus]
             Em                       C
But I fool myself so well I win every time I lose
          G                              B
I screw myself, don't tell me I told you that I do
         Em                       C
I fool myself so well I win every time I lose
         G         B
I fool myself


[Chorus]
I wanna be...
Em                   C
A better man, a true friend, a better son
     G         Am B
Oh I want to
Em                      C
A better man, a version 1.1
     G         Am B
Oh I want to


[Post-Chorus]
        Em     C
Because I love you
        G     Am   B
Because I love you
        Em     C
Because I love you
        G     Am   B
Because I love you


[Verse 2]
            Em
Do you love me too?
                C
Tell you more before we rendezvous
           G                                B
I'm 5 feet 10, high people think I'm bigger on TV, that's right
       Em
I love kids, I love people
            C
I'd like to treat 'em all as equals
        G
Like to have a smaller ego
        B
No more judgement, more amigos
Em                                  C
Lost my dad, it changed me, wrote a track, it saved me
           G
Brought me fame, sometimes I feel shame
            B
I made some money of his name
    Em                     C
Got so many fears, I wanna shed more tears
               G                            B
The present is never more clear when I love you


[Pre-Chorus]
             Em                       C
But I fool myself so well I win every time I lose
          G                              B
I screw myself, don't tell me I told you that I do
         Em                       C
I fool myself so well I win every time I lose
         G         B
I fool myself


[Chorus]
I wanna be...
Em                   C
A better man, a true friend, a better son
     G         Am B
Oh I want to
Em                      C
A better man, a version 1.1
     G         Am B
Oh I want to


[Post-Chorus]
        Em     C
Because I love you
        G     Am   B
Because I love you
        Em     C
Because I love you
        G     Am   B
Because I love you


[Bridge]
C    D    Em  D
 I want to, I wanna be
C    D    Em
 I want to, I wanna be


[Chorus]
Em                   C
A better man, a true friend, a better son
     G         Am B
Oh I want to
Em                      C
A better man, a version 1.1
     G         Am B
Oh I want to
     Em        C
Oh I want to
     G         Am B
Oh I want to
     Em        C
Oh I want to
     G         B
Oh I want to


[Post-Chorus]
        Em     C
Because I love you
        G     Am   B
Because I love you
        Em     C
Because I love you
        G     Am   B
Because I love you
        C      D
Because I love you
        Em    D
Because I love you
        C      D
Because I love you
        Em
Because I love you
