Better as a Memory Kenny Chesney
Capo 2nd fret
I move on like a [C]sinner's prayer
I let go like a [C/B]levee breaks
Walk away as if [Am]I don't care
Learn to shoulder [F]my mistakes
I'm built to fade like your [C]favorite song
Get reckless when [C/B]there's no need
Laugh as your stories [Am]ramble on
Break my heart but [F]it won't bleed
My only friends are [Am]pirates
It's just who [G]I am
I'm [F]better as a [G]memory
Than [C]as your man
I'm never sure when the [C]truth won't do
I'm pretty good on a [C/B]lonely night
I move on the way a [Am]storm blows through
Never stay, but then a[F]gain I might
I struggle sometimes to [C]find the words
Always sure un[C/B]til I doubt
Walk a line un[Am]til it blurs
Build walls too high to [F]climb out
But I'm honest to a [Am]fault
It's just who [G]I am
I'm [F]better as a [G]memory
Than [C]as your man
[F]I see you leaning
[C/E]You're bound to fall
[G]I don't want to be that [C]mistake
[F]I'm just a dreamer
[C/E]Nothing more
[Dm]You should know it before it gets too [G]late
'Cause goodbyes are like a [C]roulette wheel
Never know where they're [C/B]gonna land
First you're spinning, then you're [Am]standing still
Left holdin' a [F]losing hand
One day you're gonna [C]find someone
Right away you'll [C/B]know it's true
That all of your [Am]seeking's done
It's just a part of the [F]passing through
Right there in that [Am]moment
You'll finally under[G]stand
that I was [F]better as a [G]memory
Than [Am]as your [F]man
[F]Better as a [G]memory
Than [C]as your man
