A Better Man, Better Off

D 
(1st Verse)  The hardest thing I'll ever do,  
Is ta walk away still lovin' you. 
         G                                  D 
But I'd give anything if you loved me, something's just ain't meant to be. 
        A                               G              D  (Stop) 
Cain't say it's all been time lost, and in the long run,    
I'd be a better man, better off. 
                 G 
(Chorus)  Gonna find my pride and self esteem,  
                                   D 
Get on with my life, follow my dreams, ain't lookin' back. 
 E                            G 
Learn from my mistakes, once I've past this heartache.   
   A                         (Stop)                          D 
I know when the hurtin' stops, I'll be a better man, better off. 
 
 
             D 
(2nd Verse)  I know Rome wasn't built in a day.   
There's a lot of good mem'ries in my way. 
      G                                     D 
If I had it all to do over again, wouldn't change a thing, 'cept for the end. 
            A 
You want to be something you gotta pay the cost.   
    G              A (Stop) 
But in the long run,  I'll be a better man, better off. 
(Chorus)    (Lead)  D  G  D 
       E                            G 
Gonna learn from my mistakes, once I've past this heartache. 
A                            (Stop)                              D 
I know when the hurtin' stops      I'll be a better man, better off. 
                                                (Stop) 
A better man, better off, a whole lot better off.
