                  D
I move on like a sinners prayer
                       A
And letting go like a levee breaks
                  Bm
Walk away as if I don't care
                   G
Learn to shoulder my mistakes
                            D
Or built to fade like your favorite song
                    A
Get reckless when there's no need
                       Bm
Laugh as your stories ramble on
                    G
Break my heart, but it won't bleed
                    Bm
My only friends are pirates
                  A
That's just who I am
         G           A                   D
But I'm better as a memory than as your man

Never sure when the truth won't do
I'm pretty good on a lonely night
I move on the way a storm blows through
I never stay, but then again, I might
I struggle sometimes to find the words
Always sure until I doubt
Walk a line until it blurs
Build walls too high to climb out
But I'm honest to a fault
That's just who I am
I'm better as a memory than as your man

G                  D
I see you leaning, you're bound to fall
A                           D
I don't want to be that mistake
 G                 D  
I'm just a dreamer and nothing more
Em                                     A
You should know it before it gets too late

Cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
You never know where they're gonna land
First you're spinning, then you're standing still
Left holding a losing hand
But one day you're gonna find someone
And right away you'll know it's true
That all of your seeking's done
It was just a part of the passing through
Right there in that moment you'll finally understand
That I was better as a memory than as your man
Better as a memory than as your man
