Since you've [Dm] been gone, [D] I've had time to myself.
[G] [D]
Haven't [Dm] even tried to find somebody else.
[G] When you told me you were leaving, you know it almost came as [D] good [C] news.
[D] It [A] may sound funny, but it's true.
[F] [G] I think I'm better [F] off with the [D] blues.
[A] [D] Now I must admit that I miss you sometimes.

[G] But at the same time, I think of all you [D] put me through.

[G] I think I'm better off with [D] the blues.
I [Em] [D] [E] [F] [F#] [G]
