Casey Donahew Band - Better Off Alone
Intro: D Cadd9 G
(pick twice through, then strum twice)
Verse:
D
Empty on the hours
Cadd9 G
And empty on the days
D
I've locked up all the doors
Cadd9 G
Take me on my way
D
Down a broken road of questions
Cadd9 G
That lead me to a lie
D
To a cold night in December
Cadd9 D
When we both sat down to cry
D
Now will you carve my name upon a stone?
Cadd9 G
Will you lay me down to rest?
D
Do you think I'll see my father's father
Cadd9 G
Do you think I'll pass his test?
D
Will you whisper "Lord please keep me,
Cadd9 G
always walk right by my side"?
D
Will you place the coins upon my eyes
Cadd9 D
To pay the boatman for the ride?
Chorus:
D A D
Well I was standing in the drizzling rain
D A D
Just long enough to wash away my pain
D A Bm
And realize that she's never coming home
G
She said "I won't come back"
A D
I said "Don't come back, I'm better off alone"
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
