Capo 2nd fret


                 C
I move on like a sinner's prayer
                C/B
I let go like a levee breaks
                Am
Walk away as if I don't care
                  F
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
                            C
I'm built to fade like your favorite song
                  C/B
Get reckless when there's no need
                      Am
Laugh as your stories ramble on
                   F
Break my heart but it won't bleed

                    Am
My only friends are pirates
              G
It's just who I am
    F           G
I'm better as a memory
     C
Than as your man

                        C
I'm never sure when the truth won't do
                     C/B
I'm pretty good on a lonely night
                    Am
I move on the way a storm blows through
                      F
Never stay, but then again I might
                        C
I struggle sometimes to find the words
              C/B
Always sure until I doubt
              Am
Walk a line until it blurs
                        F
Build walls too high to climb out

                    Am
But I'm honest to a fault
              G
It's just who I am
    F           G
I'm better as a memory
     C
Than as your man

F
I see you leaning
C/E
You're bound to fall
G                       C
I don't want to be that mistake
F
I'm just a dreamer
C/E
Nothing more
Dm                                    G
You should know it before it gets too late

                           C
'Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
                         C/B
Never know where they're gonna land
                                   Am
First you're spinning, then you're standing still
               F
Left holdin' a losing hand
                     C
One day you're gonna find someone
                  C/B
Right away you'll know it's true
                 Am
That all of your seeking's done
                        F
It's just a part of the passing through

                    Am
Right there in that moment
                    G
You'll finally understand
           F           G
that I was better as a memory
     Am      F
Than as your man

F           G
Better as a memory
     C
Than as your man
