Better As A Memory Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][Bm][G]
[D][A][Bm][G]

[Verse 1]
I move on like a sinner's [D]prayer
Letting go like [A]a levee [F#m]break s
Walk away as [Bm]if I don't care
Learn to shoulder [G]my mistakes
I'm built to fade like your favorite [D]song
I get reckless when there's [A]no need
Laugh as your stories [Bm]ramble on
Break my heart but it won't [G]bleed
My only friends are [Bm]pirates,
it's just who I [A]am
I'm [G]better as a [A]memory than
[D]as your man

[Verse 2]
I'm never sure [D]when the
truth won't do
I'm pretty good on a [A]lonely night
I move on [Bm]the way a storm
blows through
I never stay, but then [G]again, I might
I struggle sometimes to [D]find the words
Always sure un[A]til I doubt
Walk a line un[Bm]til it blurs
Build the walls too high
to [G]climb out
I'm honest to a [Bm]fault,
it's just who [A]I am
I'm [G]better as [A]a memory
than as [D]your [G]man

[Verse 3]
I see you lean [D]in, you're bound [A]to fall
I don't wanna be that mistake
[D]I'm[G] just a drea[D]mer, nothing more
[Em]You should know it before
it gets too [A]late

[Verse 4]
'Cause good-bye's are like [D]a
roulette wheel
You never know where
they're [A]gonna land
First you're spinning,
then you're [Bm]standing still
Left holding a [G]losing hand
One day you're gonna [D]find someone
Right away, [A]you'll know it's true
That all [Bm]of your seeking's done
Was just a part of the
[G]passing through
Right there in that [Bm]mo ment
You'll finally under[A]stand
[Asus4]That I wa[A]s better as[G]
[A]a memory than [Bm]as y[G]our man
Better as [A]a memory than [D]as your man
