Intro: |A-E-F#m-E |B |A-E-B--B7|E E F#m What do you say when it's over? A F#m E Don't know if I should say anything at all. E F#m One day we're rollin' in the clover, A B E Next thing you know we take the fall. E F#m Still I think about the years since I first met you, A F#m E And the way it might have been without you here. E F#m I don't know if words from me can still upset you, A B E But I've just got to make this memory stand clear. A E F#m E B I know I'm leav-in' he-re a better man, A E F#m E B For know-in' you this way. A E F#m E B Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can. A E B E And I'm leav-in' here a better man. REPEAT Intro: |A E F#m E |B |A E B B7| E Guess I always knew I couldn't hold you, But I'd never be the one to set you free. Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you, You still believe in some old meant-to-be's. Still I'm leav-in' here a better man, For know-in' you this way. Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can. And I'm leav-in' here a better man. Yes, I'm leav-in' here a better man, For know-in' you this way. Things I couldn't do before, now I know I can. And I'm leav-in' here a better man. BREAK: |A E F#m E |B |A - E - B - B |E |E stop Yes, I'm leav-in' here a better man.
