I'd be [C]better [G]off [Am]red
If [C]all the things I've [G]learned
Would just fall [D]out of my [G]head
'Cause a [C]blade of [G]blue grass
Left a [D]scar on my [Em]neck
And it ain't quit [C]hurtin' yet
[D] I'd be better off [G]red
[G]I'd want [C]ten little [G]acres
Ins[D]tead of the[G] world
I'd [C]be a home[G]maker
Ins[D]tead of the [G]girl
Who [Gm7]had to [Em]make it out
Of a [Bm]nowhere town
Just to [C]make her mama proud
See my [C]daddy's [G]not well [Am]read
[C]He don't give a [G]damn about these
[D]Things in my [G]head
He's got a [C]chevy, a [G]front porch
And a [D]TV [Em]set
No he ain't [C]hurtin' yet
[D] I'd be better off [G]red
[G]I'd want the [C]bank of a [G]river
Ins[D]tead of the [G]sea
I'd [C]be a school [G]teacher
In[D]stead of the [G]freak
Who [Gm7]had to [Em]run away
From the [Bm]only place
Where every[C]body knew my name
'Cause the [Em]world ain't got
[Em]No front porch swing
The [Bm]sea ain't got no
[Bm]Fresh green banks
[C]I ain't found one finer thing, [D]mama
I'd be [C]better [G]off [Am]red
If [C]all the things I've [G]learned
Would just fall [D]out of my [G]head
'Cause a [C]blade of [G]blue grass
Left a [D]scar on my [Em]neck
And it ain't quit [C]hurtin' yet
[D] I'd be better off red [G]
I'd be [C]better [G]off [Am]red
If [C]all the things I've [G]learned
