Better Off Dead Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]She [D#]could[Em]n't[Edim][Em]
stand me anymore
So she just took the kids and went
You see, I've got a drinkin' problem

[Verse 2]
All the money that we had I spent
[Em]
[B]Now I must die by my own hand
'Cause I'm not man
enough [Em]to li[B]ve alone
Hey, hey, [A]she's better off without me
[Em]And I'm [B]better off dead
now [Em]that she's gone

[Verse 3]
Ah, she [Em]gave the most, took the least
She even had the priest
come to our home
And I cried and prayed and promised

[Verse 4]
That I'd leave the stuff alone
[Em]
[B]Now I must leave what I can't face
I hope she finds the kids a happy home
Hey, hey [A]she's better off without me
[B]And I'm better off dead [Em]now
that she's gone

[Verse 5]
[Em]She used to call her friend and cry
Then the man cut off the telephone
She'd sit and cry while
I went out
And pawned the things we owned

[Verse 6]
Now [B]I must die by my own hand
'Cause I'm not man
enough to live alone
Hey, hey [A]she's better off without
me and I'm [B]better off dead
