Verse
F C
I know I’m probably better off on my own
C Bb
Than lovin' a man who didn’t know
Bb
What he had when he had it
F C
And I see the permanent damage you did to me
C Bb
Never again, I just wish
Bb
I could forget when it was magic
Bb
I wish it wasn’t 4am, standing in the mirror
C
Saying to myself, you know you had to do it
Bb
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
F
Sometimes, in the middle of the night,
C
I can feel you again
Dm
But I just miss you, and
C Bb
I just wish you were a better man
F
And I know why we had to say goodbye
C
Like the back of my hand
Dm
And I just miss you, and
C Bb
I just wish you were a better man
F
A better man

I know I’m probably better off all alone
C
Than needing a man who could
Bb
change his mind at any given minute

And it’s always on your terms
C
I’m hanging on every careless word
C Bb
Hoping it might turn sweet again
Bb
Like it was in the beginning
Bb
But your jealousy, I can hear it now
C
You’re talking down to me like I’ll always be around
Bb
You push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded *

Boy, you never thought I’d run

Sometimes, in the middle of the night,

I can feel you again
