Better Off When I Was Hungry Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I read,
they're havin' [C]rain in Califor[G]nia
And [C]Lord, I hope that [G]you're
not gettin' [D]wet
That's the [G]only way on [C]earth
I have [G]for knowin' how you're [C]doin'
When you [G]left, you said,
you [C]call but you ain't yet
[G]

[Verse 2]
And I think I was better [C]off when
I was [G]hungry
[C]And fightin' off the [G]wolf
s from our front [D]door
But [G]I wrote this song and
it [C]came on strong
And [G]left you once too [C]often
Now I [G]think I was better [C]off when
I was [G]hungry

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 3]
My [G]guitar brought us [C]here to Bonmat,
[G]Texas
And I [C]bought you everything
[G]your eyes could see[D]
But [G]the mansion couldn't
[C]hold you
[G]Could nobody's arms to [C]warm you
I [G]guess I gave you [C]everything [G]but me

[Verse 4]
And I [G]think I was better [C]off
when I was [G]hungry
And [C]fightin' off the [G]wolf
s from our front [D]door
But [G]I wrote this song and it [C]came on strong
And [G]left you once too [C]often
Now [G]I think I was better [C]off

[Outro 1]
when I was hungry
[C][G][C]
