Better Man for You
Intro
B F#
(Verse 1)
B
I know I ain’t always right,
F# Ebm
Too many times we’ve stayed up all night,
B
Arguin’ ‘bout the same old things,
C#
Tired words that cut like a string.
(Pre-Chorus)
Ebm C# B
But darlin’, I see the pain in your eyes,
Ebm C# B
And I won’t let another tear fall tonight.
(Chorus)
F# C# Ebm B
I’m gonna be a better man for you,
F# C# Ebm B
Gonna hold you close like I used to do.
Ab Bb B
No more pride, no more lies,
F# F Eb
Gonna stand by your side,
B C# F#
I swear, I’m gonna be a better man for you.
(Verse 2)
B
I’ve been lost in work and in my ways,
F#
Chasin’ dreams, forgettin’ to say
B
How much you mean, how much I care,
C#
But, baby, I’m still right here.
(Pre-Chorus)
Ebm C# B
I see the love that’s slippin’ away,
Ebm C# B
And I won’t let us fade to gray.
(Chorus)

I’m gonna be a better man for you,
F# C# Ebm B
Gonna hold you close like I used to do.

Gonna stand by your side,

I swear, I’m gonna be a better man for you.
(Bridge)

I’ll be the arms you run into,
F# Ebm
The heart that always beats for you.
C# B
No more nights of feeling alone,
C#
I’m gonna make this house a home.
(Chorus – Soft, then Big Finish)
F# C# Ebm B
I’m gonna be a better man for you,
F# C# Ebm B
Gonna hold you close like I used to do.
