version 2
Intro - D Bm A x2
[Verse 1]
D
Am I better off dead
Bm A
Am I better off a quitter
D
They say I'm better off now
Bm A
Than i ever was with her
G Bm A
As they take me to my local down the street
Bm A G Bm A
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet
D Bm A
They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
D Bm A
But after one too many I know that I'm never
G Bm A
Only they can see where this is gonna end
Bm A G Bm A
But they all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense
[Chorus]
D
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
A Bm
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if i go there now
G
I can change your mind turn it all around
D
And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
A Bm
And she'll listen this time even though there slurred
Dial her number and confess to her
G A D
I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing
[Verse 2] (same chords as Verse 1)
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
I know if I'm face to face that she'll come to her senses
Every drunk step and path leads me to her door
If she sees how much I'm hurting
She'll take me back for sure
[Chorus]
D
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
A Bm
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if i go there now
G
I can change your mind turn it all around
D
And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
A Bm
And she'll listen this time even though there slurred
Dial her number and confess to her
G A D
I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing
(Same chords as chorus)
She said nothing
Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh I got nothing
Nothing
I got nothing
Nothing
Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
[Verse 3]
D G A Bm D
Oh sometimes love is intoxicating
D G A Bm D
Oh you're coming down your hands are shaking
D G A Bm D
When you realise there's no one waiting
(same as Verse 1)
Am I better off dead
Am I better off a quitter
They say I'm better off now
Than I ever was with her
[Chorus]
D
And my mates are all there trying to calm me down
A Bm
'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town
I'm swearing if i go there now
G
I can change your mind turn it all around
D
And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words
A Bm
And she'll listen this time even though there slurred
Dial her number and confess to her
G A D
I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing
(same chords as chorus)
She said nothing
Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh I got nothing
Nothing
I got nothing
Nothing
Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing
Oh I got nothing
I got nothing
I got nothing
