[F]
She couldn't stand me anymore
You see I've got a drinking problem
[Ab] [C] Now I'm a star by [G] my own hand
[D] [A] Hey
better off without me and [C] I'm better off [F] dead now that she's gone
gave most took the least even as the priest come to our [Fm] home
cried and [F] prayed and promised

_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She couldn't stand me anymore

Cuz I'm not [F] man enough to live alone
[D] _ _ _ [A] Hey
[C] _ [Bb] She's better off without me and [C] I'm better off [F] dead now that she's gone
_ _ [A] _ _ [F] _ She gave most took the least even as the priest come to our [Fm] home

That I'd leave the stuff alone
[Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] [C] Now I'm asleep what I can't face I hope she finds the kids to help me home
Oh
