Kenny Chesney
"Better As a Memory"
Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates, 2007
Songwriters: Scooter Carusoe, Lady Goodman
Tabbed by Dan Pera


Another fella put this up after the hack with some
imperfections. Since there was also a demand for the 
little intro riff, I thought I'd put 'em together.

The little riff (if you can even call it that) fits
throughout the whole song.

(First verse fingerpicked)

                D
I move on like a sinner's 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/F#
I see you leanin', you're bound to fall
A                     D
I don't wanna be that mistake
G                   D/F#  
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      G
That I was better as a memory than as your man
G           A           D
Better as a memory than as your man
