Lyrics

I move on like a (Dsus2)sin ner’s prayer.

I let ’em go like a (A6)lev ee breaks.

I Walk a way as if (Bm11)I don’t care.

I Learn to shoul but der my (Gsus2)gain mis takes.

I’m built to fade times like your (Dsus2)fav ’rite song,

get tin’ reck less when there’s no need.

Laugh as your sto ries (Bm11)ram ble on.

Break my heart but it (Gsus2)the won’t bleed.

through.

My on ly friends are (Bm)pi rates,

it’s just who I

am.

I’m (G)bet ter as a mem ’ry than as your man.

I’m nev er sure when the (Dsus2)truth won’t do.

I’m pret ty good on a (A6)lone ly night.

First move on the way a (Bm11)storm blows through.

I nev er stay, but then a (Gsus2)gain I might.

I strug gle some times gon to (Dsus2)find the words,

al ways sure less un til I doubt.

Walk a line un your (Bm11)til it blurs.

Build walls too high to (Gsus2)the climb out.

through.

But I’m hon est to (Bm)a fault,

it’s just who I

am.

I’m (G)bet ter as a mem ’ry than as your man.

I’m nev er sure when the your man.

I see you lean in’.

You’re bound to fall.

I don’t wan (A)na be that mis take.

I’m just a dream er,

noth in’ more.

You should know it be fore it gets too late.

’Cause good byes are like a (Bm)mo ment

you’ll fi n’lly un der

stand

that I was (G)bet ter as a mem ’ry than as your man,

bet ter as a mem ’ry than as your man.
