Better When You're Gone by Luke Conard.
I love this song so when I couldn't find the chords for it I worked them out myself.
No Capo
G, C, G, C, Em, G
Right now I wanna free fall
And not think of you anymore
C
But I cant help it
D
No I cant help it
G
Cause if I spoke the truth
The whole time I just wanted you
C
And that sweet smile
D
I'll miss your sweet smile
Em G C
Even when you tell me
D
I'll be strong
Em
Stronger when you're gone
D
I can't keep holding on
G
I can't hold on
C D
And when it hurts
Em
Just think of what came first
D
When we tried to make it work
G C
I'll be better when you're gone
D
Better when you're gone
Em
Better when you're gone
D G
Better when you're gone
Why does all that I do
Always remind me of you?
C
I can't escape it
D
Don't want to escape it
G
Just give me one more day
One more day of you and me
C
When I close my eyes
D
I won't sleep tonight
Em G C
Cause your words ring in my ears
D
I'll be strong
Em
Stronger when you're gone
D
I can't keep holding on
G
I can't hold on
C D
And when it hurts
Em
Just think of what came first
D
When we tried to make it work
G C
I'll be better when you're gone
D
Better when you're gone
Em
Better when you're gone
D
Better when you're gone
G Am C
The words you said are still haunting me
Em D
So tonight, I'll hope for better dreams
Am C
Where I'll be strong, and you'll be wrong
Em D
And I'll finally have the strength to say
C
That I'm better now you're gone
D
Better now you're gone
G
So much better now you're gone
Em D
Better now you're gone
C D
I'll be strong
Em
Stronger when you're gone
D
I can't keep holding on
G
I can't hold on
C D
And when it hurts
Em
Just think of what came first
D
When we tried to make it work
G C
I'll be better when you're gone
D
Better when you're gone
Em
Better when you're gone
G
Better when you're gone
G C
I'll be better when you're gone
D
Better when you're gone
Em
Better when you're gone
D G
Better when you're gone
