Biography:
From backwoods barbecues and community gatherings; Allen Stone emerges to share personal melodies, telling his tales of life after just 24 years. Getting his start singing at his father's church in small-town America; it wasn't until later when introduced to the greats of soul music (Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin) and then to the confessional lyrical fashion of the 60's -70's singer/ songwriters, did music begin to ignite intense passion, eventually carrying this boy to a musical home.

I would recommend using barre chords for this song. I based it off of the version
that's found in Allen's bandcamp: http://allenstone.bandcamp.com/track/better-off-this-way
Allen also adds some hammer-on's here and there
so listen out for those, they're usually on the Em7.
Listen to the song for timing though you should be able to follow along just fine by just
looking at the tab
Em7: x79787
Cmaj7: x35453
Am7: 575555 or x02010
Bm7: 797777 or x24232

Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
I always catch you when you fall
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
And I am always there, when life's mountains seem too tall
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
I gave you space, but I always hear your call
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Maybe I'll be better after all
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
And you never catch me when I fall
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
Oh and you never go out of your way to make me feel beautiful
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
You were my baby oh and i am your fool
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Maybe I'll be better without you
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
And maybe I'll be better without you
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
Oh well I'm done giving you my heart when your heart's for someone else
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
Oh but I'm done putting you first when you just care 'bout yourself
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
And I'm tired of begging you to stay
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Maybe I'll be better off this way
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
And maybe I'll be better off this way
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
And you never catch me when I slip
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
Oh but I know tonight some other man gonna be kissing on your lips
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
And that same man thinks that you're just candy on his wrist
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
There's gotta be somethin' better than this
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
There's gotta be somethin' better than this
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
Oh well I'm done givin' you my heart when your heart's for someone else
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
And oh but I'm done puttin' you first when you just care 'bout yourself
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
And I'm tired of begging you to stay
Am7 Bm7 Cmaj7
Maybe I'll be better off this way
Em7 Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7
