Taylor Swift – Better Man Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
C G Am F

[Verse 1]
C                              G
I know I'm probably better off on
my own
                      Am
Than lovin’ a man who didn't know
                    F
what he had when he had it
C
And I see the permanent
           G
damage you did to me
                    Am
Never again, I just wish I
                         G
could forget when it was magic

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I wish it wasn't 4 AM,
standing in the mirror
       G
Saying to myself,
"You know you had to do it"
   Am
I know the bravest thing
               F
I ever did was run

[Chorus]
C
Sometimes, in the middle of the
             G
night, I can feel you again
           Am
But I just miss you, and I just
                 F
wish you were a better man
      C
And I know why we had to say
                 G
goodbye like the back of my hand
           Am
But I just miss you, and I just
                 F
wish you were a better man
  F
A better man

[Verse 2]
C
I know I’m probably
           G
better off all alone
                       Am
Than needing a man who could
change his mind
              F
At any given minute
                  C
And it was always on your terms
                  G
I waited on every careless word
                       Am
Hoping they might turn sweet again
                   F
Like it was in the beginning

[Pre-Chorus]
          C
But your jealousy, oh,
               G
I can hear it now
        G
Talking down to me like
I'd always be around
        Am
Push my love away like it was
                   F
some kind of loaded gun
        G                 F
Oh, you never thought I'd run

[Chorus]
C
Sometimes, in the middle of the
             G
night, I can feel you again
           Am
But I just miss you, and
                        F
I just wish you were a better man
      C
And I know why we had to say
                 G
goodbye like the back of my hand
           Am
But I just miss you, and
                        F
I just wish you were a better man
  F
A Better man
G Am F

[Bridge]
  C
I hold onto this pride because
                 G
these days it's all I have
      Am
And I gave to you my best
            G
and we both know
           F
you can't say that
                  C
I wish you were a better man
           G
I wonder what we would've become
               Am
If you were a better man
    F
We might still be in love
              C
If you were a better man
     G
You would've been the one
               Am
If you were a better man
F
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
C
Sometimes, in the middle of the
             G
night, I can feel you again
           Am
But I just miss you, and
                        F
I just wish you were a better man
      C
And I know why we had to say
                 G
goodbye like the back of my hand
           Am
But I just miss you, and
                        F
I just wish you were a better man
  F
a Better man
C
(Sometimes,
in the middle of the night,
      G
I can feel you again)
We might still be in love,
              Am
if you were a better man
(But I just miss you and I
just wish you were a better man)
F
Yeah, yeah
C
I know why we had to say goodbye
         G
like the back of my hand
           Am
But I just miss you and
                       F
I just wish you were a better man
A better man

[Outro]
    F
We might still be in love
              C
If you were a better man
     G
You would've been the one
               Am
If you were a better man
