Intro
[G] [G]
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
[G]Proved that I was [D]wrong.
And [C]when your eyes [D]met mine, I knew
That [G]you were gone [C]forever,
[G]Along with all the [G]reasons I [D]had for hanging [G]on.[C]
Chorus
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 face the [C]devil,
Than to [G]lie here with [C]you and him [Bm]together [Am]on my [G]mind.
Verse 2
I [G]always thought that someday, we [C]might get back [G]together.
[C]I just thought you [G]needed 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 [G]do, not to [D]break right down and [G]cry
Chorus
I’d be [C]better off in a pine box
On a slow train back to [G]Georgia,

Than to [G]lie here with [C]you and him [Bm]together [Am]on my [G]mind.
