[Intro 1]
[D][Dm][G][Dm]
[G][Dm]

[Verse 1]
Blind these eyes Who never [G]tried
[Dm]To lose temptation
I'm so scared
[G]Where's the hesitation?
You so easily proved
[G]That you could save a man
I am that [G]man

[Verse 2]
It's [D]better off this way
To be [G]deaf, dumb, and lame
Than to [D]be the way I am, I [G]am
It's [D]better off this way
Than be [G]groping for the [C]flame
[G]Than to [Dm]be the way I am,

[Interlude 1]
I am
[G][Dm][G][Dm]
[G][Dm]

[Verse 3]
Still this tongue for I am hun[G]g
By this wicked [D]notion
Tame the beast, release
[G]The noose I've woven
Oh, wasted tears
[G]Dripping from my tongue
Well I'm hung, [G]hung

[Verse 4]
It's [D]better off this way
To be [G]deaf, dumb, and lame
Than to [D]be the way I am, I [G]am
It's [D]better off this way
Than be [G]groping for the [C]flame
[G]Than to [D]be the way I am,
I [G]am

[Interlude 2]
[G][G]
[G][G]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Crooked path you never asked
[G]You just left me [Dm]there
And I deal with the af[G]termath
And you don't even care
Oh, crooked feet
You [G]nimbly meet

[Verse 6]
The place of my fears
[G]It's [D]better off this way
To be [G]deaf, dumb, and lame
Than to [D]be the way I am, I [G]am
It's [D]better off this way
Than be [G]groping for the flame
Than to [D]be the way I am, I [G]am

[Verse 7]
It's [D]better off this way
To be [G]deaf, dumb, and lame
Than to [D]be the way I am, I [G]am
It's [D]better off this way
Than be [G]groping for the flame
Than to [D]be the way I am, [G]I am, oh I am

[Verse 8]
Oh, it's [D]better off this [G]way
Than to [D]be the way [G]I am
It's [D]better off this [G]way
Than to be the way I am
