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: DCGCadd9
