A Better Man

key: [D]
(1st Verse)  T[D]he hardest thing I'll ever do,
Is ta walk away still lovin' you.
But I'd g[G]ive anything if you loved me, somet[D]hing's just ain't meant to be.
Cain't s[A]ay it's all been time lost, and [G]in the long run[D],
I'd be a better man, better off.
(Chorus)  Gonna f[G]ind my pride and self esteem,
Get on with my life, follow my drea[D]ms, ain't lookin' back.
L[E]earn from my mistakes, once I[G]'ve past this heartache.
I k[A]now when the hurtin' stops, I'll be a better man, better o[D]ff.

(2nd Verse)  [D]I know Rome wasn't built in a day.
There's a lot of good mem'ries in my way.
If I h[G]ad it all to do over again, wouldn't c[D]hange a thing, 'cept for the end.
You want to [A]be something you gotta pay the cost.
But [G]in the long run[A],  I'll be a better man, better off.
(Chorus)    (Lead)  [D]  [G]  [D]
Gonna l[E]earn from my mistakes, once I[G]'ve past this heartache.
[A]I know when the hurtin' stops      I'll be a better man, better o[D]ff.
                                                (Stop)
A better man, better off, a whole lot better off.
