Bill Withers - Better off dead

^AShe couldn't stand me anymore so she just took the kids and went. You see, I've got a drinkin' problem, all the money that we had I spent.

^ENow I must die by my own hand 'cause I'm not man enough to live alone. Hey, hey, ^D7she's better off without me and I'm ^Ebetter off dead now that she's gone.

^AAh, she gave the most, took the least, she even had the priest come to our home. And I cried and prayed and promised that I'd leave the stuff alone.

^ENow I must leave what I can't face, I hope she finds the kids a happy home. Hey, hey ^D7she's better off without me and I'm ^Ebetter off dead now that she's gone.

^AShe used to call her friend and cry, then the man cut off the telephone. She'd sit and cry while I went out and pawned the things we owned.

^ENow I must die by my own hand 'cause I'm not man enough to live alone. Hey, hey ^D7she's better off without me and Im ^Ebetter off dead
