G
[Verse 1]
G
Don't tell me the reason that you're callin'
C G
Is to see if I'm all right since you been gone,
D G
Cause I know you and I know why we're talkin';
C D
You're wantin me to say I'm barely hangin' on.
C D C D
Well, maybe that was true, for a night or two,
F C G
But now, I've got better things to do. ...I could:
[Chorus]
C G
...Wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings;
G C
Mow the yard just the same, as I did yesterday.
C G D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
F C G
...I've got better things to do.
[Verse 2]
G
Maybe when I don't have so much goin'
C G
Or quite so many irons in the fire,
D G
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping,
C D
But now I can't put forth the effort it requires.
C D C D
I'd love to talk to you, but then I'd miss Donahue.
F C G
That's right, I've got better things to do. ...I could:
[Chorus]
C G
...Wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings;
G C
Mow the yard just the same, as I did yesterday.
C G D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
F C
...I've got better things to...
C C G
do. Check the air in my tires, straighten my stereo wires,
G C
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
C G D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
F C G
...I've got better things to do.
F C G
...I've got better things to do.
