Id 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                C
That you were gone forever,
                   G         D    
Along with all the reasons I had 
           G
for hanging on


[Chorus]

Continues after the ad
       C
I’d be better off in a pine box
                        G
On a slow train back to Georgia,
                          D     
Or in the grey walls of a prison 
       C
doing time.
                   D            
I think I’d rather die and go to 
 G                 C
hell and face the devil,
        G             C           
Than to lie here with you and him 
D              G
together on my mind.


[Verse 2]


G                                 
I always thought that someday, we 
C              G
might get back together.
C                  G
I just thought you needed time
                         D
To spread your wings and fly,
    C                             
But when I saw the loving way you 
G              C
held onto each other,
                        G          
It was all that I could do, not to 
D                    G
break right down and cry


Repeat Chorus 2x’s

        C             G           
I can't lie here with you and him 
D              G
together on my mind
