Better Things To Do

 G


[Verse 1]
 G
Don't tell me the reason that you're callin'
       C                                   G
Is to see if I'm all right since you been gone,
       D                               G
Cause I know you and I know why we're talkin';
               C                            D
You're wantin me to say I'm barely hangin' on.
       C              D        C              D
Well, maybe that was true,    for a night or two,
     F             C               G
But now, I've got better things to do.     ...I could:


[Chorus]
 C                                                 G
...Wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings;
  G                                    C
Mow the yard just the same, as I did yesterday.
       C                   G                 D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
F                   C              G
      ...I've got better things to do.


[Verse 2]
G
Maybe when I don't have so much goin'
    C                           G
Or quite so many irons in the fire,
      D                                    G
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping,
           C                               D
But now I can't put forth the effort it requires.
     C               D                C            D
I'd love to talk to you,    but then I'd miss Donahue.
        F               C                G
That's right, I've got better things to do.      ...I could:


[Chorus]
    C                                                 G
...Wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings;
        G                                  C
Mow the yard just the same, as I did yesterday.
       C                  G                 D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
F            C
...I've got better things to...

 C                 C                                     G
do.  Check the air in my tires, straighten my stereo wires,
  G                                                 C
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
  C                       G                 D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
F            C               G
...I've got better things to do.
F            C                G
...I've got better things to do.
