Bb5 
Don't tell me the reason that you're calling   
       Eb5                                     Bb5 
Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone. 
   F5                                   Bb5       
'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking 
Eb5                                          F5 
You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on 
       Eb5             F5   Eb5              F5      F#5          F5              Bb5   
Well, maybe that was true for a night or two But now, I got better things to do 
 
CHORUS: 
                 Eb5                                                Bb5 
I could         wash my car in the rain     Change my new guitar strings 
                                           Eb5 
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday 
Eb5                        Bb5               F5 F#5          F5              Bb5 
I don't need to waste my time crying over you    I got better things to do. 
 
 
Bb5                                        Eb5                           Bb5 
Maybe when I don't have so much going   Or quite so many irons in the fire 
F5                                            Bb5 
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping 
    Eb5                                      F5 
But now, I can't put forth the effort it requires 
           Eb5             F5              Eb5            F5 
Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue 
         F#5           F5              Bb5 
That's right, I got better things to do. 
go to chorus 
  Eb5                                             Bb5 
Check the air in my tires  Straighten my stereo wires 
Bb5                                                Eb5 
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life 
Eb5                        Bb5               F5 
I don't need to waste my time crying over you 
F#5         F5              Bb5  F#5         F5               Bb5 
   I got better things to do      I got better things to do.
