Verse
           Bm               G 
How've you been? Can I come in? 
                    A                 Bm                G 
Just came to get my things and then I guess I'm leaving 
           Bm                     G 
If I could say what you'd like to hear 
                    A             Bm         G 
I'd whisper in your ear it's only temporary 
G 
But I've been taking you for granted 
      D                              A 
And I thought you'd feel the same as me 
                      Bm 
It's time that I come clean, but 
                G                        D 
But for now can we just both pretend to sleep 
                      A                       Bm 
Sometimes the one you want is not the one you need 
                       G 
What goes around don't come around           
You should know me by now 
 
Chorus
D 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
A 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
Bm 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
G 
Better than, better than, better than 
I should know you as well 
D 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
A 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
Bm 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
G 
Better than,          
You should know me by now 
 
Verse
(Different stumming pattern. Listen to the song) 
Our talk is small, I'm seven inches tall 
And you should keep the apartment 
So here's my keys, changed all the bills 
We're only built to spill and wonder where the heart went 
And you've been taking me for granted. 
And I thought you'd feel the same as me 
It's time that I come clean, but 
But for now can we just both pretend to sleep 
Sometimes the one you want is not the one you need 
What goes around don't come around 
You should know me by now 
 
Chorus

A 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
Bm 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
G 
Better than, better than, better than 
I should know you as well 
D 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
A 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
Bm 
Better than, better than, better than 
You should know me 
G 
Better than,          
You should know me by now 
 
Verse
A               Bm 
I know that I remember you 
  G 
I think that you remember me too 
A          Bm      G 
How can one of us still feel blessed when the other one's lost 
A                    Bm 
I know you've got to feel the change 
   G 
It just stays worse when it stays the same 
A          Bm      G 
How can one of us still feel blessed when the other one's  
B G A B G (Intro while singing this) 
So lost 
By now
