[Verse 1]
D
Since you been gone I've had time to myself
Haven't even tried to find somebody else
G D
When you told me you were leavin', you know it almost came as good news
A G D
It may sound funny but it's true, I think I'm better off with the blues
[Verse 2]
D
Now, I must admit that I miss you sometimes
Not a day goes by, that you don't cross my mind
G D
But at the same time, I think of all the hell you put me through
A G D
Yeah, it's the lesser of two evils, I think I'm better off with the blues
[Verse 3]
D
I know some day I'll wake up and this blues will be gone
I'll forget about you and how everything went wrong
G
But if you had to stay, I'd be dead in my tracks
A G
Now, I still love you, baby, but I don't want you back
[Verse 4]
D
Tonight I'm gonna go down to the sad side of town
Listen to 'em play the blues when the sun goes down
G D
And I'll know just what to say, when someone asks about you
A G D
I'll say, yeah, we had our good times but I think I'm better off with the blues
A G D
Yeah, if I had to choose, I say I'm better off with the blues
