This is Pearl Jam’s “Betterman”. It’s a great song. I’m not sure how correct this is 
but it sounds really good. There are a few parts at the end that I am missing but you 
should be able to get it if you listen to the song.

On the 1st chorus, pick through the chords and on the 2nd chorus strum them


[Chorus]

D            A            G  
She lies and says shes in love with him
D           A          G   
Cant find a better man
D             A           G
She dreams in colour she dreams in red
D            A            G
Can’t find a better man

Next is the 2nd verse which is the same as the 1st verse except towards the end where 
instead o f pick you strum these 2 chords (timing not shown)


e|-5--------7-
B|-6--------8-
G|-5--------7-
D|-7--------9-
A|-8-------10-
E|-5--------7-
