[A]
[B] [G]
[E] [D] [A]
[B] [G] I move [D] on like a sinner's prayer, I let it [A] go like a levee breaks,
walk away [Bm] as if I don't care, learn to [G] shoulder my mistakes,
I built to [D] faint like your favorite song, get [A] reckless when there's no need,
laugh as [Bm] your stories ramble on, break my [G] heart but it won't bleed,
my [Bm] only friends are pipes, it's just [B] who I [A] am,
[G] but I'm better as [A] a memory [D] than as your man,
never sure when the truth won't do, I'm pretty [A] good on a lonely night,
I move on [Bm] the way a storm blows through, I never stay [G] but then again I might,
I struggle [D] sometimes to find the words, I'll be [A] sure until I die,
walk [Bm] alone until it blurs, build walls too [G] high to climb out,
but I'm honest [Bm] to a fault, it's just [A] who I am,
[G] but I'm better [A] as a memory [D] than as your man,
[G] I see you leaning, [D] you're bound to fall, [A] I don't want to be that [D] mistake,
[G] I'm just a [F#m] dreamer, [D] nothing more, [Em] you should know it before it gets [A] too late,
goodbyes [D] are like a roulette wheel, you never [A] know where they're gonna land,
first you're spinning [Bm] then you're standing still, left [G] home in a losing hand,
but one day [D] you're gonna find someone, right [A] away you'll know it's true,
that [Bm] all of you seek is done, it's just a [G] part of the passing through,
right there [Bm] in that moment you'll finally [A] understand,
[D] that I was better as [A] a memory [Bm] than as your man,
[G] better [A] as a memory [D] than as your man.
