A Better Man

(intro) G D A D A G D A D

D                            Em
   What do you say when it's over
                 G               A           D
    I don't know if I should say anything at all.
                                 Em
    One day we're rollin' in the clover,
G                    A               D
    next thing you know we take the fall.

               D                                 Em
    Still, I think about the years since I first met you,
             G                 A                D
    and the way it might have been without you here.
                                                  Em
    And I don't know if words from me can still upset you,
                   G               A             D
    but I've just gotta make this memory stand clear.
                G  D    A  D   A                G D   A   D    A
    I know I'm leavin' here a better man, for knowin' you this way.
              G       D    A      D      A
    Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
             G D    A             D
    and I'm leavin here a better man.

D                                   Em
    I guess I always knew I couldn't hold you,
             G            A              D
    but I'd never be the one to set you free.
                                               Em
    Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you,
         G                A                D
    you still believe in some old meant-to-be.
               G D     A  D   A                G D   A   D     A
    Still I'm leavin' here a better man, for knowin' you this way.
              G       D    A      D      A
    Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can,
             G D    A             D
    and I'm leavin here a better man.
              G  D    A   D  A                G D    A   D    A
    Yes, I'm leavin' here a better man, for knowin' you this way.
              G       D     A     D      A
    Things I couldn't do before, now I know I can,
             G D    A             D
    and I'm leavin here a better man.

G   D  A  D   A           G  D   A             D
                Yes I'm leavin here a better man.
