[F]
She couldn't stand me anymore
So she just took the kids and went
You see I've got a drinking problem
[Fm] All the money that we had I spent
[Ab] [C] Now I'm a star by [G] my own hand
Cuz I'm not [F] man enough to live alone
[D] [A] Hey
[C] [Bb] She's better off without me and [C] I'm better off [F] dead now that she's gone
[A] [F] She gave most took the least even as the priest come to our [Fm] home
And I cried and [F] prayed and promised
That I'd leave the stuff alone
[Bb] [F] [A] [Bm] [C] Now I'm asleep what I can't face I hope she finds the kids to help me home
Oh
Hey
[Bb]
She's better off without me and [C] I'm better off dead now that [A]

[Fm] [Bb] She used to call a friend and [F] cry then the man cut off the telephone
[F] [Fm]
She'd sit and [F] cry while I [Fm] went out and pawned the things we owned
[Bb] [C] Now I'm a star by [G] my own hand cuz I'm not man [D] enough to live [C] alone
