Emmylou Harris Better Off Without You written by Marshall Chapman
Dennis Walker
Fontaine Brown
C Bb
Room 16 the Palms Motel
F
Now I can rest behind the door
C Bb
My life with you's become a living hell
F
Don't wanna live like than no more
Dm Bb C
And whatever it will take
Dm Bb C
I will do to make this final break
F Bb C
Yeah better off without you
F Bb C
Better off without you
F C F
Better off without you in my life
C
So I'll unpack my bags
Bb F
And kick off these old shoes
C Bb
This room is as good as anyplace I've ever been
F
For lookin at the truth
Dm Bb C
Now it's all so clear to me
Dm Bb C
What a blind man could plainly see
F Bb C
Yeah better off without you
F Bb C
Better off without you
F C F
Better off without you in my life
C
Oh God here comes the tears
Bb
I'm gonna stay right here
C
I'll cry I've cried away
Bb C
But I won't go back no more
SOLO
C
Looks like a change in the weather
Bb F
I can hear it start to rain
C Bb
I hope it's not too long this time
F
Before the sun comes out again
Dm Bb C
But if it rains forever
Dm Bb C
I will still be better off
F Bb C
Yeah better off without you
F Bb C
Better off without you
F C F Bb F Bb F
Better off without you in my life
