"Better As a Memory"
Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, 2007
Another fella put this up after the hack with some
imperfections. Since there was also a demand for the
little intro riff, I thought I'd put 'em together.
The little riff (if you can even call it that) fits
throughout the whole song.
e----------------------- B--3-3-3-5-3-5-3-------- G----------------------- D----------------------- A----------------------- E-----------------------
(First verse fingerpicked)
I move on like a[D] sinner's prayer
I let 'em go like a [A]levee breaks
Walk away as if[Bm] I don't care
Learn to shoulder [G]my mistakes
I'm built to fade like your [D]favorite song
Getting reckless when [A]there's no need
Laugh as your stories [Bm]ramble on
Break my heart but [G]it won't bleed
My only friends are[Bm] pirates, it's just who I [A]am
I'm [G]better as a [A]memory than as your [D]man
I'm never sure when the [D]truth won't do
I'm pretty good on a [A]lonely night
I move on the way a [Bm]storm blows through
I never stay, but then [G]again, I might
I struggle sometimes to [D]find the words
Always sure [A]until I doubt
Walk a line [Bm]until it blurs
Build walls too high [G]to climb out
But, I'm honest to a [Bm]fault, it's just who [A]I am
I'm [G]better as a [A]memory than [D]as your man
[G]I see you leanin', [D/F#]you're bound to fall
[A]I don't wanna be that [D]mistake
[G]I'm just a dreamer, [D/F#]and nothing more
[Em]You should know it before it gets too l[A]ate
Cause good-bye's are like a [D]roulette wheel
You never know where they're [A]gonna land
First you're spinning, then you're [Bm]standing still
Left holding a [G]losin' hand
One day you're gonna [D]find someone
Right away, you'll [A]know it's true
That all of your [Bm]seeking is done
Its just a part of the [G]passing through
Right there in that [Bm]moment
You'll finally unde[A]rstand
That I was [G]better as a [A]memory than [Bm]as your [G]man
[G]Better as a [A]memory than [D]as your man
