Capo 2nd fret
 
 
[Intro]
Em  G  D  A
 
 
[Verse 1]
            Em
I wasn't perfect
G
Nothing is in life
            D
You weren't worth it
    A
But still I tried
             Em          G
And couldn't work it out
           D          A
I couldn't work it out
            Em
You were an angel
    G                            D
But so was Lucifer before he fell
    A
And I was ill-prepared
            Em
For all the hell that we'd go through
      G
And I couldn't see the truth
       D                A
That I didn't wanna see
 
 
[Chorus]
                  Em
Maybe, I'm better off now
                            G
I just need to move on, somehow
                          D
Break free from your love spell
                     A
Maybe, that's just a lie I tell myself
               Em
Now that we're done
                    G
Maybe, I got it all wrong
                    D
Perhaps, I'm just delusional
                   A
For trying to hold on
                     Em  G  D  A
And maybe I'm better off
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Em
Love is bullshit
            G
Because the more you give
                     D
The more it hurts to lose it
         A
Still we chase the oxytocin
       Em
Hoping love will be a cure
       G
But no poison harms you more
            D                   A
Than an unrequited lover's plea
 
 
[Chorus]
                  Em
Maybe, I'm better off now
                            G
I just need to move on, somehow
                          D
Break free from your love spell
                     A
Maybe, that's just a lie I tell myself
               Em
Now that we're done
                    G
Maybe, I got it all wrong
                    D
Perhaps, I'm just delusional
                   A
For trying to hold on
                     Em  G
And maybe I'm better off
                 D A
Maybe I'm better off
                 Em7  G  D  A
Maybe I'm better off
 
 
[Bridge]
            Em

    A
But still I tried
             Em          G
And couldn't work it out
           D        A
I couldn't work it out
 
 
[Chorus]
                  Em
Maybe, I'm better off now
                            G
I just need to move on, somehow
                          D
Break free from your love spell
                     A
Maybe, that's just a lie I tell myself
               Em
Now that we're done
                    G
Maybe, I got it all wrong
                    D

For trying to hold on
                     Em  G
And maybe I'm better off
                            G
I just need to move on, somehow
                          D
Break free from your love spell
                     A
Maybe, that's just a lie I tell myself
               Em
Now that we're done
                    G
Maybe, I got it all wrong
                    D
Perhaps, I'm just delusional
                   A
For trying to hold on
                     Em  G
And maybe I'm better off
                 D A
Maybe I'm better off
                 Em7
Maybe I'm better off
                 D A
Maybe I'm better off
                 Em7
Maybe I'm better off
