Better Man
guitar chords lyrics
Hi there! This was a request and the hardest one ever!!
But I struggled through and I think I got it!! May need
some tweeking here or there, let me know:) Tabbed to this
version-

*The intro (Em7) is just a continuous strumming of the open
E string of the Em7. When you go to the G on 'shelf' it's
still muted but strumming the low strings EAD only and
continue that strumming until the pre chorus. There are some
very quick chord changes so play along with the song to get
it down.

And then you threw it away and told me to be a man,
But I was

You won't be wai-ting, and I'll give the ghost of what we had

Cadd9 D/F# Em7 G D/F#
So now it's ne--ver from here
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
And every little step I take and every single move I've ever made

And even though my heart still aches
