Id Be Better Off In A Pine Box Ukulele Chords

Verse #1

F
I said the night you left me
        F                F
Nothin’ worse could ever happen,
    F               F
But seeing you with someone else
                  G
Proved that I was wrong.
    F
And when your eyes met mine, I knew
     F                F
That you were gone forever,
                   F         G               F
Along with all the reasons I had for hanging on


Chorus:

       F
I’d be better off in a pine box
                        F
On a slow train back to Georgia,
                          G            F
Or in the grey walls of a prison doing time.
                   G             F                 F
I think I’d rather die and go to hell and face the devil,
        F             F           G              F
Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind.


Verse #2

   
F                                 F              F
I always thought that someday, we might get back together.
F                  F
I just thought you needed time
                         G
To spread your wings and fly,
    F                             F              F
But when I saw the loving way you held onto each other,
                        F          G                    F
It was all that I could do, not to break right down and cry


Repeat Chorus 2x’s

        F             F           G              F
I can't lie here with you and him together on my mind
