Verse 1:
D MajorD
Since you been gone I've had time to myself
Haven't even tried to find somebody else
     G+G                             D MajorD
When you told me you were leavin', you know it almost came as good news
       A augmentedA           G+G                D MajorD
It may sound funny but it's true, I think I'm better off with the blues

Verse 2:
   D MajorD
Now ,I must admit that I miss you sometimes
Not a day goes by, that you don't cross my mind
      G+G                       D MajorD
But at the same time, I think of all the hell you put me through
        A augmentedA           G+G                D MajorD
Yeah, it's the lesser of two evils, I think I'm better off with the blues

Verse 3:
 D MajorD
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+G                   D MajorD
But if you had to stay, I'd be dead in my tracks
       A augmentedA           G+G        D MajorD
Now, I still love you, baby, but I don't want you back

Verse 4:
 D MajorD
Tonight I'm gonna go down to the sad side of town
Listen to 'em play the blues when the sun goes down
     G+G                       D MajorD
And I'll know just what to say, when someone asks about you
     A augmentedA                 G+G                D MajorD
I'll say, yeah, we had our good times but I think I'm better off with the blues
     A augmentedA         G+G               D MajorD
Yeah, if I had to choose, I say I'm better off with the blues
