Better As A Memory


Capo 2nd fret C I move on like a sinner's prayer C/B I let go like a levee breaks Am Walk away as if I don't care F Learn to shoulder my mistakes C I'm built to fade like your favorite song C/B Get reckless when there's no need Am Laugh as your stories ramble on F Break my heart but it won't bleed Am My only friends are pirates G It's just who I am F G I'm better as a memory C Than as your man C I'm never sure when the truth won't do C/B I'm pretty good on a lonely night Am I move on the way a storm blows through F Never stay, but then again I might C I struggle sometimes to find the words C/B Always sure until I doubt Am Walk a line until it blurs F Build walls too high to climb out Am But I'm honest to a fault G It's just who I am F G I'm better as a memory C Than as your man F I see you leaning C/E You're bound to fall G C I don't want to be that mistake F I'm just a dreamer C/E Nothing more Dm G You should know it before it gets too late C 'Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel C/B Never know where they're gonna land Am First you're spinning, then you're standing still F Left holdin' a losing hand C One day you're gonna find someone C/B Right away you'll know it's true Am That all of your seeking's done F It's just a part of the passing through Am Right there in that moment G You'll finally understand F G that I was better as a memory Am F Than as your man F G Better as a memory C Than as your man Acoustic guitar break: E ---------------------------------------------------| B ----1----3--1-----3--1--------1---3--1----3--1-----| G ------0--------0--------0-------0------0-------0---| D ---------------------------------------------------| A --3-------------------------2----------------------| E ---------------------------------------------------| E ----------------------------------------------------| B ----1----3--1-----3--1--------1---3--1----3--1------| G ------0--------0--------0-------0------0-------0----| D ----------------------------3-----------------------| A --0------------------------------------------------| E ----------------------------------------------------| Outro chords: C C/B Am F
