I'D BE BETTER OFF (in a pine box) 
 
 
G
I SAID THE NIGHT YOU LEFT ME 
       C                G
NOTHIN WORSE COULD EVER HAPPEN 
    C               G
BUT SEEING YOU WITH SOMEONE ELSE 
                  D
PROVED THAT I WAS WRONG 
C
AND WHEN YOUR EYES MET MINE, I KNEW 
G
THAT YOU WERE GONE FOREVER 
                           D                 G
ALONG WITH ALL THE REASONS I HAD FOR HANGING ON 
 
CHO: 
       C
I'D BE BETTER OFF IN A PINE BOX 
                          G
ON A SLOW TRAIN BACK FROM GEORGIA 
                     D            C
IN A GRAY WALLS OF A PRISON DOING TIME 
  C                D             G                 C
I THINK I'D RATHER DIE AND GO TO HELL AND FACE THE DEVIL 
G                     C           D              G
THAN TO LIE HERE WITH YOU AND HIM TOGETHER ON MY MIND 
  G                          C              G
I ALWAYS THOUGHT SOMEDAY, WE MIGHT GET BACK TOGETHER 
  C            G
I JUST THOUGHT YOU NEEDED TIME  
                         D
TO SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY 
C                                 G
BUT WHEN I SAW THE LIVIN WAY, YOU HELD ONTO EACH OTHER 
                            D                           G
IT WAS ALL THAT I COULD DO, NOT TO BREAK RIGHT DOWN AND CRY
