A        D            E
I know something you don't
                 D          A
You’ll have to trust me on this
  A           D               E
The way you think that you want me
         D
Honey, it don’t exist
  B                      D
I know you stand in the light
                   E
And you try to be seen
                    D
Babe I see you and more
              E       A     D    E
Come on now listen to me
D             A     D    E     D
So listen to me
A             D
I looked at someone
      E        D          A
The same way you say you see me
A       D           E
And I stood in the light
        D
Hoping I would be seen
 B                 D
God when he sang about it
                E
I’d be happy to die
                  D
Two gins and ten songs
              E              A
I must have cried the whole night

[Chorus]
A          D         E        D
Yeah it’s better to just be a fan (Just be a fan)
           A         D         E     D
Yeah it’s better to just be a fan
            A               D
You might ache till you’re mad
           B
But you’d lose what you had
             D        E         A    D     E
Yeah it’s better to just be a fan
   D         A     D    E    D
So just be a fan

[Verse 2]
A        D         E
We connected in town
             D        A
Small talk coffee on me
                D         E
My hands shook under the table
        D
Can’t believe that he speaks
B                       D
Sounded just like the record
                       E
When he laid out his year
                     D
Pretended I didn’t notice
              E            A
Thought that that would be weird

[Chorus]
A          D         E        D
Yeah it’s better to just be a fan (Just be a fan)
           A         D         E     D
Yeah it’s better to just be a fan
     A           D
You imagine a scene
           B
But it's only a dream
             D        E         A    D     E
Yeah it’s better to just be a fan
   D         A    D    E    D
So just be a fan

[Verse 3]
A        D            E
As it turns out that song
        D            A
Didn’t mean what I thought
            D          E
I wish that I didn’t know
         D
Yeah I preferred it before
B                      D
I try to cry like I used to
                    E
When I think of him now
                   D
But all that comes up
             E       A
Is awkward coffee in town

[Chorus]
            D         E        D
Yeah it’s better to just be a fan (Just be a fan)
            A        D         E    D
Yeah it’s better to just be a fan
             A          D
I’d fill in all of the cracks
           B
And you’d just want me back
            D         E
Yeah it’s better to just be
   D             E
You’ll have to trust me
       D         E        A     D     E
It’s better to just be a fan
     D         A     D     E     D     A
So just be a fan
