Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]Sin[G]ce[D][A]
[D]you been gone
I've had time to myself
Haven't even tried to find
somebody else
When you [G]told me you were leavin'
it almost came as good [D]news
It may sound [A]funny but it's true
I [G]think I'm better off with
the blues
[D][Abdim]

[Verse 2]
[D][A]
Now [D]I must admit that I
miss you sometimes
Not a day goes by that you don't
cross my mind
But at the [G]same time I think of all
the hell you put me [D]through
Yeah, it's the [A]lesser of two evils
I [G]think I'm better off with
the blues
[D][Abdim][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]
I [G]know some day I'll wake up
and this blues will be gone
[D]I'll forget about you and how
everything went wrong
But [G]if you hadda stayed
I'd be dead in my tracks
Now, [A]I still love you, baby,
but I don't want you back

[Verse 4]
To[D]night I'm gonna go down
to the sad side of town
Listen to 'em play the blues
when the sun goes down
And I [G]know just what to say when
someone asks about [D]you
[A]I'll say, yeah, we had our good times
[G]But I think I'm better off with [D]the blues
Yeah, [A]if I had to say,
I say [G]I'm better off with the blues
