E                         F#m
What do you say when it's over?
           A
Don't know if I should say anything at all
                             F#m
One day we're rollin' in the clover
A                               E
Next thing you know we take the fall

[Verse 2]
Still I think about the years since I first met you
And the way it might have been w/out you here
I don't know if words from me can still upset you
         A                  B          E
But I've got to make this memory stand clear

[Chorus]
           A    E   F#m    B
I know I'm leav-in' here a better man
    A    E   F#m      B
For know-in' you this way
         A        E  F#m          B
Things I couldn't do before now I think I can
        A    E   B             E
And I'm leav-in' here a better man

[Verse 3]
Guess I always knew I couldn't hold you
But I'd never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be's

[Chorus]
           A    E   F#m    B
I know I'm leav-in' here a better man
    A    E   F#m      B
For know-in' you this way
         A        E  F#m          B
Things I couldn't do before now I think I can
        A    E   B             E
And I'm leav-in' here a better man
