[Intro] C G Am G F7M
[Primera Parte]
C
Down the block, there's an antique shop
G
And something in my head said, "Stop, " so I walked in
Am G
On the counter was a cardboard box
F7M
And the sign said, "Photos: twenty-five cents each"
C
Black and white, saw a '30s bride
G
And two lovers laughin' on the porch of their first house
Am G
The kinda love that you only find once in a lifetime
F7M
The kind you don't put down
G Am F7M
And that's when I called you and it's so hard to explain
G Am F7M
But in those photos, I saw us instead
G Am F7M
And, somehow, I know that you and I would've found each other
G Am F7M G
In another life, you still would've turned my head even if we'd met
[Refrão]
C
On a crowded street in 1944
G
And you were headed off to fight in the war
Am G
You still would've been mine
F7M
We would have been timeless
C
I would've read your love letters every single night
G
And prayed to God you'd be comin' home all right
Am G
And you would've been fine
F7M
We would have been timeless
C G F7M
'Cause I believe that we were supposed to find this
Am G
So, even in a different life, you still would've been mine
C
We would've been timeless
( G Am G F7M )
[Segunda Parte]
C
I know
G
I'm probably better off on my own
Than lovin' a man who
F7M
Didn't know what he had when he had it
C
And I see
G
The permanent damage you did to me
F7M
Never again, I just wish I could forget when it was magic
F7M(9)
I wish it wasn't four AM, standing in the mirror
G
Saying to myself: You know you had to do it
F7M(9)
I know the bravest thing I ever did was run
[Refrão]
C
Sometimes, in the middle of the night
G
I can feel you again
Am
But I just miss you
G F7M
And I just wish you were a better man
C
And I know why we had to say goodbye
G
Like the back of my hand
Am
But I just miss you
G F7M
And I just wish you were a better man
C G
A better man
Am G F7M
A better man
[Ponte]
G Am F7M
Time breaks down your mind and body
G Am F7M
Don't you let it touch your soul
G Am
It was like an age-old classic
F7M
The first time that you saw me
G Am F7M
The story started when you said, "Hello"
[Ponte - Better Man]
C
I wish you were a better man
G
I wonder what we would've become
F7M
If you were a better man
G
We might still be in love
C
If you were a better man
G
You would've been the one
F7M
If you were a better man
Yeah, yeah
[Refrão Final]
C
In a crowded room a few short years ago
G
And sometimes there's no proof, you just know
Am G
You're always gonna be mine
F7M
We're gonna be
C
And I know why we had to say goodbye
G
Like the back of my hand
Am
But I just miss you
G F7M
And I just wish you were a better man
C
I'm gonna love you when our hair is turnin' gray
G
We'll have a cardboard box of photos of the life we've made
Am G F7M
And you'll say, "Oh my, we really were timeless"
C G
We're gonna be timeless, timeless
Am G
You still would've been mine
F7M C
If you would've been... A better man
G Am G F7M
We might still be in love if you were a better man
