I'D BE BETTER OFF IN A PINEBOX
Doug Stone

Capo 1st Fret (To Match Recording)

I (A) said the night you left me
Nothing (D) worse could ever (A) happen
(D) Seeing you with (A) someone else, proved that I was (E) wrong
(F#m) When your eyes met (D) mine, I knew
(A) You were gone (D) forever
(A) Along with all the reasons I (E) had for hanging (A) on

I'd be (D) better off in a pine box  - on a slow train bound for (A) Georgia
Or in the grey walls of a (E) prision doing (D) time
I think I'd rather (E) die and go to (A) hell and face the (D) devil
Than to (A) lie here with (D) you and him, (E) together on my (A) mind

I (A) always thought that someday
We (D) might get back (A) together
(D)  I just thought you (A) needed time to spread your wings and (E) fly
But, (F#m) when I saw the (D) loving way
You (A) held on to each (D) other
It was (A) all that I could do, not to (E) break right down and (A) cry

Repeat Chorus Twice

I (A) can't lie here with (D) you and him, (E) together on my (A) mind
