Chord/Tab song: Better Off Alone

Casey Donahew Band - Better Off Alone

Intro: D Cadd9 G

(pick twice through, then strum twice)

Verse:

[D]Empty on the hours

And [Cadd9]empty on the [G]days

I've [D]locked up all the doors

[Cadd9]Take me on my [G]way

Down a [D]broken road of questions

That [Cadd9]lead me to a [G]lie

To a [D]cold night in December

When we [Cadd9]both sat down to [D]cry

Now will you[D] carve my name upon a stone?

Will you [Cadd9]lay me down to [G]rest?

Do you [D]think I'll see my father's father

Do you [Cadd9]think I'll pass his [G]test?

Will you [D]whisper "Lord please keep me,

always [Cadd9]walk right by my [G]side"?

Will you [D]place the coins upon my eyes

To pay the [Cadd9]boatman for the r[D]ide?

Chorus:

Well I was s[D]tanding in the [A]drizzling [D]rain

Just long[D] enough to wash a[A]way my [D]pain

And rea[D]lize that she's [A]never coming [Bm]home

She said "I won't come [G]back"

I said "Don't come[A] back, I'm better off a[D]lone"

Break - D Cadd9 G

Verse:

She called me from a pay phone
South of San Antone
And I could hear somebody talking
But she swore she was alone
You know it sounded so familiar
I pray to God that I am wrong
I always thought she'd leave me
I never dreamed he'd go along

Chorus

Solo - D Cadd9 G (X2)

Chorus

I'm better off alone

Outro:

[D] [Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9]
