A#m      G#     F#
I won’t lie to you,
   G#        A#m      G#        F#
I know he’s just not right for you.
     G#      A#m
And you can tell me if I’m off,
       G#
But I see it on your face
          F#
When you say that he’s the one that you want.
 G#         A#m
And you’re spending all your time
         G#
In this wrong situation
    F#
And anytime you want it to stop.

Chorus:
             G#     A#m
     I know, I can treat you
      G#   F#        C#
     Better than he can,
         G#            A#m
     And any girl like you
       G#      F#      C#
     Deserves a gentleman.
          G#             A#m
     Tell me, why are we wasting time
                 G#
     On all your wasted crime,
                     F#            C#
     When you should be with me instead.
     G#             A#m       G#    F#
     I know, I can treat you better,
      C#    G#      A#m
     Better than he can.

I'll stop time for you
The second you say you'd like me too
I just wanna give you the loving
that you're missing
Baby, just to wake up with you
Would be everything I need and
this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do

Chorus:
                   G#    A#m
     ‘Cause I know I can treat you
      G#   F#        C#
     Better than he can,
         G#            A#m
     And any girl like you
       G#      F#      C#
     Deserves a gentleman.
          G#             A#m
     Tell me, why are we wasting time
                 G#
     On all your wasted crime,
                     F#            C#
     When you should be with me instead.
     G#             A#m       G#    F#
     I know, I can treat you better,

     Better than he can,
     C#     G#       A#m G# F# C# G#
     Better than he can.

   A#m       G#
   Give me a sign,
            C#             F#
   Take my hand, we’ll be fine.
   A#m         G#            F#
   Promise, I won’t let you down.
        A#m           G#
   Just know that you don’t
           C#       F#
   Have to do this alone.
   A#m            G#            F#
   Promise, I’ll never let you down.

Chorus:
                         A#m

     Better than he can,
         G#            A#m

     When you should be with me instead.
