INTRO

My girl 

Came unto me

Just the other day,

Acting OK

I was

Reading alone 

In my favourite room

The TV was on

[strum]
C     G     D
May I be excused?
C         G          D
For not telling the truth?
Em          C
'Coz she's gone
     G 
She said
       D               Em
She's better off on her own
        C
She turned
    G
Her head
     D
Much better off on her own
A
My girl knocked on the door
        G               A          D                      
To the place I usually refer to as home
A
I dived, shoelace untied
            G
She looked in my eyes
A
Small and suprised
D          A         E
And God closed every gate
Bm       F#m           E
The moon fell into the lake
F#m         D      A
Boy, she's gone, adrift
      E                  F#m
She's better off on her own
      D              A
She closed, then she left
      E                Bm
Much better off on her own
Bm
Sitting naked
D             F#m
By the window sil
               E
Watching cars upon the hill
Bm
Am I sleeping?
D
I was dreaming
F#m                 E
For just a moment time stood still

[instrumental - AGAD, AGA]
F#m        D
Now she's gone
     A
She said
       E                A
She's better off on her own
     D         A
She turned her head
      E                 F#m
Much better off on her own
      D
She's gone
      A
She sighed
       E                 F#m
She's better off on her own
    D             A
The tears I have cried
                         E
Much better off on her own
    B
My girl
                       A           B
Came unto me just the other day...
