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.
