JAMES MORRISON – BETTER MAN (UNDISCOVERED, 2006)
 
 
[Intro]
 
F C F C
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
            F
There was a time
                          C
I had nothing to give
         F                            C
I needed shelter from the storm I was in
            C/B         Am      G
And when it all got too heavy
               F
You carried my weight
              Fm
And I want to hold you
              D7                N.C.
And I want to say
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     C C7               E7
That you are all that I need
    F      D7
For you, I give my soul to keep
    C       C7
You see me, love me
E7
  Just the way I am
F              D7               N.C.
For you I am a better man
       C           E7
I said you are the reason
Am        Am/G     F
  For everything I do
                G            C
I'd be lost, so lost without you
 
 
[Intro chords]
F C F C
 
 
[Verse 2]
          F
Under the stars
                   C
At the edge of the sea
              F
There's no one around
           C
No one but you and me
C/B            Am   G
We'd talk for hours
                F
As time drifts away
                  Fm
I could stay here forever
                  D7
And hold you this way
 
 
[Chorus]
 
    C      C7             E7
Coz you are all that I need
    F            D7
For you, I give my soul to keep
     C      C7
You see me, love me
 E7
Just the way I am
    F           D7
For you I am a better man
        C           E7
I said you are the reason
    Am   Am/G    F
For everything I do
           G           C
I'd be lost, so lost without you

the chords are spot on, nice one!

excellent tab

Hi thank you very much for the tab. Here are some corrections I'd add as I learnt it watching him in a live video : 1. On "And when it all got too heavy" (1st verse but same on 2nd "We'd talk for hours") I'm pretty sure he plays 200010/Am/300010. 2. In the chorus he plays E before transitioning to E7 except on "I said you are the reason" where he plays E and not E7 3. On "For everything that I do" he plays the middle chords 300010 Everything else seems fine in my eyes. Try it and tell me what you think =) ! Cya !
