Better Off Gone

D F  G  Am F  C G


[Verse 1]
F
The girl's got her eyes on
C          G
The fading horizon
C                              G
Here come the last line of our favorite song
Em                F
It's the end of an era
G
She's gonna tear up
Am             F                   G
That interstate on her way to Charleston


[Chorus]
C
She's gone
F                     G              Am
Movin' on, takin' off my letter jacket
            F
Gonna drive as far as she can tonight
C                  G
Gonna sleep on the roadside
Am          F                C               G        D
She'll know when her hometown country station turns to static
F                                  C
She ain't never been that far from home
G                          F
But I know she's better off gone

[Verse 2]
F                   C            G
We all knew she was too good for Kansas
Em                  G          C       G  D
She swears we'll end up together in the end
    F                         C             G
She wouldn't have to say that if she really thought that
         F                   G
The fact is she ain't coming back again


[Chorus]
C
She's gone
F                     G              Am
Movin' on, takin' off my letter jacket
            F
Gonna drive as far as she can tonight
C                  G
Gonna sleep on the roadside
Am          F                C               G        D
She'll know when her hometown country station turns to static
F
She ain't never been that far from home
G                          F
But I know she's better off gone
G                F   G  C
she's better off gone


[Verse 3]
                D      G  F
Only good thing I ever had
                      Am     G   F
Just up and gone away like,   that
                         D      G
I love her enough to not hold,   on
C                    F
It's gonna break my heart
               G
But I'll get along
            C          F
Cause she's better off gone


[Bridge]
C G  Am F  G  Am


[Chorus]
C
She's gone
F                     G              Am
Movin' on, takin' off my letter jacket
            F
Gonna drive as far as she can tonight
C                  G
Gonna sleep on the roadside
Am          F                C               G        D
She'll know when her hometown country station turns to static
F                                  C
She ain't never been that far from home
G                          F
But I know she's better off gone
