[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I [G]said the night you left me
Nothin' [C]worse could ever [G]happen
But [C]seeing you with [G]someone else
proved that I was [D]wrong
And [Em]when your eyes met [C]mine, I knew
that [G]you were gone forev[C]er
A[G]long with all the reasons
I [D]had for hanging [G]on

[Chorus 1]
I'd be [C]better off in a pine box
On a slow train back to [G]Georgia
Or in the grey walls of a [D]prison doing [C]time
I think I'd rather [D]die
And go to [G]hell and [Bm]face the dev[C]il
Then to [G]lie here with [C]you and him
to[D]gether on my [G]mind
[C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
I [G]always thought that someday
We [C]might get back to[G]gether
[C]I just thought you n[G]eeded time
to spread your wings and [D]fly
But [Em]when I saw the [C]loving way
You [G]held onto each [C]other
It was [G]all that I could do,
not to [D]break right down and [G]cry

[Chorus 2]
I'd be [C]better off in a pine box
On a slow train back to [G]Georgia
Or in the grey walls of a [D]prison doing [C]time
I think I'd rather [D]die
And go to [G]hell and [Bm]face the dev[C]il
Then to [G]lie here with [C]you and him
to[D]gether on my [G]mind

[Chorus 3]
Girl, I'd be [C]better off in a pine box
On a slow train back to [G]Georgia
Or in the grey walls of a [D]prison doing [C]time
I think I'd rather [D]die
And go to [G]hell and [Bm]face the dev[C]il
Then to [G]lie here with [C]you and him
to[D]gether on my [G]mind
I can't lie here with [C]you and him
to[D]gether on my
