My Better Me

C Am Em

[Verse 1]
C
My better me
Am                Em
   Would give you what you need and kill the speed
    C
But that ain't me
Am                Em
   That's just my better me
C
My better me
Am                  Em
   Would bring you through the night and make it right
    C
But that ain't me
Am            Em
   I'm not my better me

[Chorus]
      C                   Em
He is so much more than me
          C             Em
More than I will ever be
           Am            D
My better me, my better me
       C                Em
When I turn to walk away
         C                 Em
He would listen to you, stay
              Am
He's not like me
           D
My better me

[Verse 2]
C
My better me
Am           Em
   Is not so mortified fucked up inside,
     C
 but that ain't me
Am                Em
   That's just my better me
C
My better me
Am                 Em
   Would leave you when it hurts would stop the words,
     C
your misery
Am            Em
   I'm not my better me

[Chorus]
      C                   Em
He is so much more than me
          C             Em
More than I will ever be
           Am            D
My better me, my better me
       C                Em
When I turn to walk away
         C                 Em
He would listen to you, stay
              Am
He's not like me
           D
My better me

[Instrumental]

C             Am Em
My better me
C             Am Em
My better me
C             Am Em
My better me
C             Em D
My better me

[Outro]
C
My better me
Am          Em
   Is not illogical emotional
     Am               Em
From time to time, so cynical
   Am            Em
No bullet and no cannonball
   Am         Em
Is never the epitome
   Am            Em
Of arrogance and bigotry
   Am          Em
No advocate of irony
   D
No that is me
           Em
I'm not my better me
