Am            C                 G            F
Find me at a quarter to three, cigarette in hand
Am        C            G                   F
I'd be at every party, I wouldn't miss a chance
Am            C               G                     F
New friends again and again, gone when the morning comes
Am         C                G                F
Demons I try to defend, but I couldn't get enough

Am            C
Fading away, fading away
 G                       F
Wake up to someone with nothing to say
Am                        C
I'd never change, thought I'd never change
Then you come and change it all

Chorus:
           Am         C           G                F
With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man
           Am         C           G                F
With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man
         Am                      C
Darling, all of my wrongs, they lead me right to you
  G                       F
Wrapped in your arms, I swear I'd die for
      Am         C           G               F
Your love, your love, I'm a better, better man

Thought I'd found the highest of highs
You came and topped them all
You shine in the dead of the night
And I was the first to fall

Fading away, fading away
Wake up to someone with nothing to say
I'd never change, thought I'd never change
Then you come and change it all

Chorus

Am              G                                   F
You're the only one, who could lock this wild heart up in chains
Am              G                                 F
You're the only love, that can make this bad man better
C               Em              G                   Am
You're the only one, who could lock this wild heart up in chains
C               Em              G                 Am
You're the only love, that can make this bad man better

Chorus:
With your love, your love, I'm a better, better man
Oh, with your love, your love, I'm a better, better man
All of my wrongs, they led me right to you
Wrapped in your arms, I swear I'd die for
Your love, your love, I'm a better, better man

With your love (Ooh), your love (Ooh), I'm a better, better man
With your love (Ooh), your love (Ooh), I'm a better, better man
Darling, all of my wrongs, they led me right to you
Wrapped in your arms, I swear I'd die for
Your love (Your love), your love (Your love),
I'm a better, better man

Hmm-mmm, hmm-mm
Hmm-mmm (Love), hmm (Your love)
Hmm-mmm (Love), hmm-mmm
(I'm a better, better man)
Hmm-mmm (Love), hmm-mmm (Your love)
Hmm-mmm (Love), hmm (Your love)
(I'm a better, better man)
