Intro:   |G         |

|G                |                  |            |
Don't tell me the reason that you're callin'
      |C             |                    |G           |
Is to see if I'm all right since you been gone,
      |D             |                |G          |
Cause I know you and I know why we're talkin';
              |C            |              |D            |
You're wantin me to say I'm barely hangin' on.
      |C             |D       |C             |D
Well, maybe that was true,    for a night or two,
    |C            |D               |G     |
But now, I've got better things to do.      ...I could:

       |C          |          |               |          |G
        ...Wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings;
                   |G            |          |         |C
           Mow the yard just the same, as I did yesterday.
                   |C               |G    |           |D      |
           I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
       |C           |D               |G      |      |       |
        ...I've got better things to do.

|G           |                  |         |
Maybe when I don't have so much goin'
   |C            |            |G       |
Or quite so many irons in the fire,
     |C               |                    |G         |
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping,
          |C                  |           |D        |
But now I can't put forth the effort it requires.
    |C              |D               |C           |D
I'd love to talk to you,    but then I'd miss Donahue.
       |C              |D               |G     |
That's right, I've got better things to do.      ...I could: 

       |C          |          |               |          |G
        ...Wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings;
                   |G            |          |         |C
           Mow the yard just the same, as I did yesterday.
                   |C               |G    |           |D      |
           I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
       |C           |D
        ...I've got better things to...

           |C             |C        |                 |         |G
           do.  Check the air in my tires, straighten my stereo wires,
                     |G           |               |          |C
           Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
                   |C               |G    |           |D      |
           I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
       |C           |D               |G
        ...I've got better things to do.
       |C           |D               |G     |      |      |
        ...I've got better things to do.
