I'D BE BETTER OFF (in a pine box) 
 
 
G5
I SAID THE NIGHT YOU LEFT ME 
       C5                G5
NOTHIN WORSE COULD EVER HAPPEN 
    C5               G5
BUT SEEING YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE 
                  D5
PROVED THAT I WAS WRONG 
C5
AND WHEN YOUR EYES MET MINE, I KNEW 
G5
THAT YOU WERE GONE FOREVER 
                           D5                 G5
ALONG WITH ALL THE REASONS I HAD FOR HANGING ON 
 
CHO: 
       C5
I'D BE BETTER OFF IN A PINE BOX 
                          G5
ON A SLOW TRAIN BACK FROM GEORGIA 
                     D5            C5
IN A GRAY WALLS OF A PRISON DOING TIME 
  C5                D5             G5                 C5
I THINK I'D RATHER DIE AND GO TO HELL AND FACE THE DEVIL 
G5                     C5           D5              G5
THAN TO LIE HERE WITH YOU AND HIM TOGETHER ON MY MIND 
  G5                          C5              G5
I ALWAYS THOUGHT SOMEDAY, WE MIGHT GET BACK TOGETHER 
  C5            G5
I JUST THOUGHT YOU NEEDED TIME  
                         D5
TO SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY 
C5                                 G5
BUT WHEN I SAW THE LIVIN WAY, YOU HELD ONTO EACH OTHER 
                            D5                           G5
IT WAS ALL THAT I COULD DO, NOT TO BREAK RIGHT DOWN AND CRY
