Put your capo on fret 1 for the studio version. The live acoustic version is without a capo!
Shawn plays barre chords, but you can just play open chords as well.

[Verse 1]
Am G F G
I won't lie to you
G Am G F
I know he's just not right for you
G Am
And you can tell me if I'm off
G
But I see it on your face
F
When you say that he's the one that you want
G Am
And you're spending all your time
G
In this wrong situation
F
And anytime you want it to stop
[Chorus]
Am G
I know I can treat you better
F C
Than he can
Am G F C
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Am
Tell me why are we wasting time
G
On all on your wasted crying
F C
When you should be with me instead
Am G F
I know I can treat you better
C
Better than he can
[Verse 2]
Am G F
I'll stop time for you
G Am G F G
The second you say you'd like me too
Am G
I just wanna give you the loving that you're missing
F G
Baby, just to wake up with you
Am G F
Would be everything I need and this could be so different
Tell me what you want to do
[Chorus]
Am G
I know I can treat you better
F C
Than he can
Am G F C
And any girl like you deserves a gentleman
Am
Tell me why are we wasting time
G
On all on your wasted crying
F C
When you should be with me instead
Am G F
I know I can treat you better
C
Better than he can
[Theme]
Am G F C
Better than he can
Am G F C
Better than he can
[Theme]
