A Better Man

Intro Em  G  D  A 


[Verso 1]


Em                 G 
I've made a deal 
      D              A 
To my heart, my very heart 
          Em               G 
For every beat was angry 
       D             A 
And salvation was so far 

   Em 
I prayed with my flesh 
           G 
Because my soul gave away 
       D 
After setting my shrine 
             A 
I found some beasts out to slay 

   Em 
I tried to look back 
             G 
'Cause I was feeling so wrong 
          D 
My past stared at my heart 
            A 
Like those beasts were my own 



[Refrão]

    G 
I'm cutting ties 
    Bm 
And burning bridges 
  G 
Standing ground 
     Bm       A 
And making decisions 
  G 
Around the world 
    Em 
And home again 
    G 
I'm on the road 
   A 
To be a better man 

( Em  G  D  A ) 


[Verso 2]


   Em 
No answer has come 
   G 
As if by design 
     D 
I've turn to the mirror 
 A 
Ready to dive 

  Em 
Smashed down my idols 
     G 
And opened my books 
        D 
Casting to a shallow grave 
   A 
My pride and my looks 



[Refrão]

    G 
I'm cutting ties 
    Bm 
And burning bridges 
  G 
Standing ground 
     Bm       A 
And making decisions 
  G 
Around the world 
    Em 
And home again 
    G 
I'm on the road 
   A 
To be a better man 

Final 

        G 
And the Universe met me there 
        Bm           A 
Like an inner cease-fire 
       G 
And my questions were no more 
          Bm            A 
I was the one I most admired 

( Em  G  D  A )
