If you watch the video he plays the actual Bm chord in the last
two lines of each verse.
D
i move on like a sinners prayer
A
i let ’em Go like a levee breaks
Bm
walk away as if i don’t care
G
learn to shoulder my mistakes
D
i’m built to fade like your favorite song
A
getting reckless when there’s no need
Bm
laugh as your stories ramble on
G
break my heart but it won’t bleed
Bm A
my only friends are pirates, it’s just who i am
G A D
i’m better as a memory than as your man
D
i’m never sure when the truth won’t Do
A
i’m pretty good on a lonely night
Bm
I move on the way a storm blows through
G
i never stay, but then again, i might
D
i struggle sometimes to find the words
A
always sure until i doubt
Bm
walk a line until it blurs
G
build walls too high to climb out
Bm A
but, i’m honest to a fault, it’s just who i am
G A D
i’m better as a memory than as your man
G D
I see you leanin’, you’re bound to fall
A D
I don’t wanna be that mistake
G D
i’m just a dreamer, and nothing more
Em A
you should know it before it gets too late
D
cause good-bye’s are like a roulette wheel
A
you never know where they’re gonna land
Bm
first you’re spinning, then you’re standing still
G
left holding a losin’ hand
D
one day you’re gonna find someone
A
right away, you’ll know it’s true
Bm
that all of your seeking is done
G
Its just a part of the passing through
Bm
right there in that moment
A
you’ll finally understand
G A Bm
that i was better as a memory than as your man
G A D
better as a memory than as your man
