D5                       A5 
I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead 
                                D5  
I'd rather be dead than wet my bed 
                                  A5 
I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead 
                        D5 
I said dead than wet my bed  


                  G5               D5 
Oh, I'd rather be gone than carry on 
               E5                 A5 
I'd rather go away than feel this way 
                  D5                             A5 
Oh, I'd rather be there where you haven't got a care 
                                                     D5                             
And you're better off dead though it doesn't seem fair 

Chorus 
(with B5 and E5 ) 

                   A5                E5  
I'd rather keep my health and dress myself 
                      F#5                    B5 
But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf 
            E5                   B5 
I'll tie my tie 'till the day I die 
                                             E5 
But if I have to be fed then I'd rather be dead 

And when he takes my hand on the very last day 

I will understand because, it's better that way 

Oh! It's nice to be alive when the dream comes true 

You'll be better off dead, it could happen to you 

Chorus 
(with B5 and E5 )
