My girl came home to me just the other day, acting OK 
  G                         F               C 
I was reading alone  in my favourite room, the TV was on 
C   G       D      C       G           D  Dsus4 D 
May I be excused  for not telling the truth 
 
  Em          C        G      D 
'Cos she's gone, she said / she's better off on her own 
  Em   C         G         D 
She turned her head / much better off on her own 
 
  A                               G                   D 
My girl knocked on the door / to the place I usually refer to as home 
  A                              G                 D 
I died, shoelace untied / she looked in my eyes, small and surprised 
  D       A            E      Bm       A           E  Esus4  E 
And God closed every gaze / the moon fell into the lake 
 
  F#m  D           A          E   Esus4   E 
Boy, she's gone, a drift / She's better off on her own 
  F#m  D           A           E   Esus4    E 
She closed, then she left / much better off on her own 
 
  Bm            D       A           E 
Sitting naked by the windowsill / watching cars upon the hill 
  Bm               D            A       E 
Am I sleeping? / I was dreaming / For just a moment time stood still 
 
       A                  G  D     A                   G  D 
Solo: ( Better off on her own )... ( Better off on her own) 
 
  F#m  D           A          E    Esus4      E 
Now she's gone, she said / she's better off on her own 
  F#m  D        A        E     Esus4    E 
She turned her head / much better off on her own 
  F#m   D       A           E       Esus4    E 
She's gone, she sighed / she's better off on her own 
  F#m  D      A        E       Esus4     E 
The tears I cried / much better off on her own 
 
  B                                A       E 
My girl came home to me just the other day.
