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

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

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

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