G                      
I'm not the sharpest shard of glass 
          C      G
From this broken window 
G                                                C                G
But there's a few things that I've learned that you might want to know 
C
That misery is a talent you can hone 
G                          C    G
And sorrow is a product we all can't wait to own 
D'                     C
But I'm just trying to be 
         G    C G
a Better Man

G                         C              G
Flesh and blood cover the statues on the street 
G                              
They'll treat you like a friend
         C                 G 
But they stare at you like fresh meat
C 
And the porcelain teeth that smile in your face 
G
Can't wait for you to fall 
   C        G
so they can take your place 
D'                     C
And I'm just trying to be 
         G   C G
a Better Man 
D'                      C
Yeah I'm just trying to be 
         G    C G
a Better Man

G                     C
Lie and cheat your friends 
                G
while you still have time 
G                            
And downplay the drama while 
    C                   G
you figure out a clever rhyme 
    C
And smile in a semi-sympathetic tone 
      G                             C               G
Can't appreciate good friends until you find you're all alone 
D'                     C
But I'm just trying to be 
         G   C G
a Better Man 
D'                      C
Yeah I'm just trying to be
         G    C G
