Chords and lyrics for Better I Don't by Chris Janson (key of C).
Verse 1
C-G-F-C (x2)
[C]My good buddy asked me "Buddy [G]why don't you drink?"
And I said, [F]"It's probably better I [C]don't"
He said, "There's a lotta girls in this here [G]bar that we could chase"
I said [F]"Trust me"
It's probably better I [C]don't
Cuz I used to be an all nighter
I'm a [G]hell of a back slider
I've been [F]around the block more than a [C]time or two
And I can promise you
I've drank my [G]weight in booze
And I've been [F]known to get on stage in nothing [G]but my boots so
(Chorus)
It's better I [C]don't, cuz believe me I [G]will
I get [F]looser than a line on a [C]fishing reel
Dare me don't do, don't think I [G]won't
[F]Take it all off, [G]turn it all on
Get [F]buck wild, hell bent, and [G]stoned
It's better I [C][G]don't[C][F]
Well I was wearing the cuffs, when the warden [G]said
"Just tell me the truth"
And I said [F]"Sir, it's probably better I [C]don't"
And I was up on the stand and the judge said
"Just [G]tell me what happened man"
And I said, [F]"Buddy it's probably better I [C]don't but since you asked
I was mindin' my own business at a [G]hundred and five
I was a [F]county road cruisin'
[C]Outrunning the blue lights
I was on the home stretch
I was [G]roundin' that last curve
Well I [F]ran out of gas and that's [G]when I learned
Chorus
C-G-F-C (x2)
Now there's [G]things I don't remember
There's things that I do
But I don't [F]know the half of what I [G]got into
It's better I [C]don't, cuz believe me I [G]will
I get [F]looser than a line on a [C]fishing reel
Dare me don't do, don't think I [G]won't
[F]Take it all off, [G]turn it all on
Get [F]buck wild, hell bent, and [G]stoned
Drunk [F]dial somebody on the [G]phone
Drink too many [F]beers and drive a Harley [G]home
It's better I [C]don't[G]
Yeah it's better I [F]don't
[C]Yeah it's better I don't[G-F-C]
