[Verse]
Gm                            D
Next time I'll be kinder with you
                  C            F
There's just this habit that I have
D7                            Gm
I throw my words around like fire
A7                                     Dm
They catch on your good heart and your peace of mind

[Verse]
Gm                           D
But next time I'll be kinder
         Gm                            D
And if I learn to take it lighter when you
                C                F
Tell me there's something that I lack
D7                              Gm
Would that make you change your mind?
A7                            Dm     C    Bb    Am
Would that make it better and buy me some time?

[Chorus]
           Gm                     Dm                 C Dm
'Cause I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't
Gm                             Dm               C Dm
Every time I swear I will, you swear I won't
A7                          Ebadd9
There's a better version of me
A            D           Gm
Stay for the person I'll be

D Gm x4

[Verse]
             Gm                               D
If there's a next time, I'll fight harder for you
               C               F
Won't take for granted what we had
  D7                             Gm
I wake with you in mind, but I'm tired
A7                           Dm  C     Bb        Am
Fall on different phases are all these faults of mine

[Chorus]
           Gm                         Dm                   C Dm
'Cause I'm damned if I'm true and I'm damned if I'm lying
Gm                           Dm                     C Dm
Every time you say I lose, I swear that I'm trying
A7                             Ebadd9
If there's a better version of me
A                      D           Gm
Would you stay for the person I'll be?
