Delbert McClinton - Better off with the blues

^DSince you been gone I've had time to myself Haven't even tried to find somebody else When you ^Gtold me you were leavin', you know it almost came as good ^Dnews It may sound ^Afunny but it's true, I ^Gthink I'm better off with the bl^Dues

Now, ^DI must admit that I miss you sometimes Not a day goes by, that you don't cross my mind But at the ^Gsame time, I think of all the hell you put me ^Dthrough Yeah, it's the ^Alesser of two evils, I ^Gthink I'm better off with the bl^Dues

I ^Dknow some day I'll wake up and this blues will be gone I'll forget about you and how everything went wrong But ^Gif you had to stay, I'd be dead in my tracks Now, I still ^Alove you, baby, but I ^Gdon't want you back

To^Dnight I'm gonna go down to the sad side of town Listen to 'em play the blues when the sun goes down And I'll ^Gknow just what to say, when someone asks about ^Dyou I'll say, ^Ayeah, we had our good times but I ^Gthink I'm better off with the bl^Dues Yeah, if ^AI had to choose, I^G say I'm better off with the bl^Dues
