Version Of Me

[Verse 1]
Next time I'll be kinder with you
There's just this habit that I have
I throw my words around like fire
They catch on your good heart and your peace of mind
Next time I'll be kinder

[Verse 2]
If I learn to [C7]take it lighter when you
Tell me there's something that I lack
Would that make you [A7change your mind?
Would that make it better and [Bm]buy me some time?

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm damned if I do
And I'm damned if I don't
Every time I swear I will
You say that I won't
But there’s a better version [C7]of me
Stay for [Dm7]the person [C7]I'll be

[Verse 3]
If there's a next time I'll fight harder for [Dm7]you
Won't take for [Dm7]granted what we had
I wake with you [A7in mind but I'm tired
Of all [Em]these different ρhases
Are all [Em]these faults of mine?


[Chorus]
’Cause I'm damned if I'm tɾue
And I'm damned if I'm ɾight
Every time you [A7say I'll lose
I swear that I'm tɾying
If there's a better version [C7]of me
Would you [A7stay for [Dm7]the person [C7]I'll be?

[Outɾo]
Stay for [Dm7]the person [C7]I'll be
Stay for [Dm7]the person [C7]I'll be
Stay for [Dm7]the person [C7]I'll be
Stay for [Dm7]the person [C7]I'll be
Stay for [Dm7]the person [C7]I'll be
Stay for [Dm7]the person [C7]I'll be
