     D
At a quarter to midnight she was pacing the floor,
A                                     
Asking herself, 'What am I loving him for?
          D               G
He's been out on the town six nights in a row,
           D                        A           D
If this is how its gonna be, I'd be better off alone'.

As she walked to her car the night was cold and still,
    A
She thought to herself, 'I'll drive up to Lover's Hill
             D                             G
And I'll tell each and every star how this man has done me wrong,
        D                         A           D
And I'm sure they'll agree I'd be better off alone'.
G       A           D
Mmmmmm, better off alone.



       D
He was closing the store as the clock was striking twelve,
          A
He'd been working extra hours, he was proud of himself.
      D                                      G
To surprise her with a ring, he'd worked his fingers to the bone,
   D                          A           D
He joked to his boss, 'I'd be better off alone'.

Now the road to his house went right by Lover's Hill,
        A            
When he saw her car parked there, well his heart, it just stood still.
 D                        G
'What could she be doing? God, I hope I'm wrong,
         D                               A           D
If she's there with someone else, I'd be better off alone'.
G       A           D
Mmmmmm, better off alone.
G       A           Bm    A
Mmmmmm, better off alone.



   E
He parked his car beside her, got out and cut the lights,
B
She rolled down her window and looked up in surprise.
        E                                    A
When he saw that she'd been crying, he said 'Babe, what's going on'?
    E                                        B           E
And through her tears she whispered, 'I'd be better off alone'.

Then he kissed her through the window, and wiped away her tears,
B                                            
Told her 'bout his secret, and she told him 'bout her fears.
               E                            A
He said, 'We'll get your car tomorrow, come on, I'll drive you home.
    E                             B           E
The way that I'm feeling, we'd be better off alone'.
A       B           E
Mmmmmm, better off alone.
A       B           E
Mmmmmm, better off alone.
A       B           E
Mmmmmm, better off alone.
A       B           E
Mmmmmm, better off alone.
