Capo 4th fret
C F C F
C
Let's face the truth, the deed is done
F Am C
Look at me now babe, and say I'm still the one
C
Just who are we trying to defend
F Am C
A burnt-out building should be condemned
G Dm F C
Baby, I don't even know anymore, who I am ?
C
Don't look forlorn, don't look so sad
F Am C
Deep down you know I was always bad
G Dm F
You say, "I don't know even know you anymore (baby)
G Dm F G
I don't even know if I'm sure what I want"
C F
Maybe a better man could understand
C F
Maybe a better man could be your friend
Em Am
Maybe a better man who would hold you
G Am
Like I'll never really hold you
Em Am F G
Maybe he could love you so that baby, I may be a better man
Yes I know, things have changed
Once we were lovers, now we ain't even friends
And maybe love, don't ask me why,
Is something for which I ain't qualified
You say, "I can't even see the boy you were (baby)
And I don't think it's good to even be here anymore"
Maybe a better man could understand
Maybe a better man could be your friend
Maybe a better man could hold you like I'll never really hold you
Maybe he could love you so that baby, I may be a better man
Maybe a better man could be your friend
Maybe a better man could understand
Maybe a better man wouldn't leave you
Wouldn't hurt you and deceive you
Wouldn't leave you to believe that someday he may be a better man
Would be your friend
And understand so that you'd never need again
A better man
A better man
A better man
