VERSE 1:
Wish I'd known the way
Wish I'd found the door
Wish I took the path
You showed me before
CHORUS:
'cause I'd be better off
I'd be a better man
If I was what you want
And not what I am
VERSE 2: (same chords as Verse 1)
Careful what you wish
I am a dream come true
Now I'm someone else
Who only wanted you
REPEAT CHORUS
CHORUS CONTINUED:
I don't fear the break
I can't feel the bend
If its what you want
Then I know, I know I can
BRIDGE:
Please believe in me
Don't be leaving me
I won't be thrown away
Please believe in me
Don't be leaving me
I try to make it plain that
I can change, I can change
VERSE 3: (same chords as Verse 1)
Wish I'd known the way
Wish I could find the door
That can take us back
To where we were before
CHORUS: (same chords as above)
Where we were better off
I was a better man
I was what you want
And not what I am
CHORUS CONTINUED:
I don't fear the break
I can't feel the bend
If its what you want
Then I know, I know I can
CHORUS REPEATED:
'Cause I'd be better off
I'd be a better man
If it's what you want
Then I know I can
