CBb
Room 16 the Palms Motel
F
Now I can rest behind the door
CBb
My life with you's become a living hell
F
Don't wanna live like than no more
DmBbC
And whatever it will take
DmBbC
I will do to make this final break
FBbC
Yeah better off without you
FBbC
Better off without you
FCF
Better off without you in my life
C
So I'll unpack my bags
BbF
And kick off these old shoes
CBb
This room is as good as anyplace I've ever been
F
For lookin at the truth
DmBbC
Now it's all so clear to me
DmBbC
What a blind man could plainly see
FBbC
Yeah better off without you
FBbC
Better off without you
FCF
Better off without you in my life
C
Oh God here comes the tears
Bb
I'm gonna stay right here
C
I'll cry I've cried away
BbC
But I won't go back no more
SOLO
C
Looks like a change in the weather
BbF
I can hear it start to rain
CBb
I hope it's not too long this time
F
Before the sun comes out again
DmBbC
But if it rains forever
DmBbC
I will still be better off
FBbC
Yeah better off without you
FBbC
Better off without you
FCFFb
Better off without you in my life
