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

        D                                   Em
Still I think about the years since I first met you....
        G                                  D
and the way it might have been without you here....
        D                                 Em
I don't know if words from me can still upset you....
               G                A            D
But, I've just got to make this memory stand clear……

[Chorus]
           G  D/F#      Em    D   A
I know I'm leav - in'   here....a better man....
      G  D/F#     Em    D      A
For  know - in'   you   this   way....
         G      D/F#      Em   D     A
Things I couldn't  do….be-fore…now I think I can....
         G   D/F#    A  (pause)    D
and I'm  leav - in'  here a better man....

....Guess I always knew I couldn't hold you....
        G                           D
But I'd never be the one to set you free....
          D                                Em
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you....
    G                A                     D
You still believe in some old meant - to - be's

[Chorus]
            G  D/F#      Em    D   A
Still,  I'm leav - in'   here....a better man....
     G  D/F#      Em    D     A
for  know - in'   you   this  way....
         G      D/F#        Em   D     A
Things I couldn't  do....be-fore…now I think I can....
         G   D/F#      A             D
and I'm  leav - in'    here a better man....

          G  D/F#       Em    D   A
Yes,  I'm leav - in'    here....a better man....
     G  D/F#      Em    D     A
for  know - in'   you   this  way....
         G      D/F#        Em      D     A
Things I couldn't  do....be-fore....now I know I can……

and I'm  leav - in'   here a better man....
