This song already appears in the COWPIE archives but contains some errors. 
I have been unable to contact the original poster regarding these errors, so 
I have made the necessary corrections to his transcription here.  The chord 
changes come very quickly in the chorus and instrumental sections, so you 
should listen to the recording to familiarize yourself with the timing.

                    A BETTER MAN  by Clint Black 
 
 
INTRO:   |A-E-F#m-E  |B     |A-E-B--B7|E 
 
E                         F#m 
What do you say when it's over? 
           A               F#m         E 
Don't know if I should say anything at all. 
E                            F#m 
One day we're rollin' in the clover, 
A              B                E 
Next thing you know we take the fall. 
 
        E                                   F#m 
Still I think about the years since I first met you, 
        A                 F#m              E 
And the way it might have been without you here. 
        E                                 F#m 
I don't know if words from me can still upset you, 
              A                B            E 
But I've just got to make this memory stand clear. 
 
            A    E   F#m E    B 
        I know I'm leav-in'  he-re a better man, 
            A    E   F#m  E   B 
        For know-in' you this way. 
                 A        E    F#m   E     B 
        Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can. 
                A    E   B             E 
        And I'm leav-in' here a better man. 
 
REPEAT INTRO:  |A E F#m E  |B     |A E B B7| E 
 
Guess I always knew I couldn't hold you, 
But I'd never be the one to set you free. 
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you, 
You still believe in some old meant-to-be's. 
 
        Still I'm leav-in' here a better man, 
        For know-in' you this way. 
        Things I couldn't do before, now I think I can. 
        And I'm leav-in' here a better man. 
 
        Yes, I'm leav-in' here a better man, 
        For know-in' you this way. 
        Things I couldn't do before, now I know I can. 
        And I'm leav-in' here a better man. 
 
BREAK:  |A E F#m E  |B 
 
                 |A - E - B   -  B      |E       |E\stop 
        Yes, I'm leav-in' here a better man.
