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.
