Song: Better Off Alone
Tabbed by: Leigh Garingo
Tuning: E,B,G,D,A,E

Verse 1

I never gave a reason of why I didn’t call
Now I’ve grown so tired of lying to myself
It cannot go unsaid I regret what they know
Don’t think it’s all been a waste of time

Are you better off alone? Stop lying to yourself
I regret what was said I deny what they know
Are you better off alone?

Verse 2 (The same chords as verse 1)
Those that we admired
All stood their ground and cried
I didn’t start the fire
I just tried to see your eyes
It cannot go unsaid I only want
To know I think it’s all going to work out fine

Chorus G
We’re better off alone
Than lying to ourselves
I don’t care what you’ve said
I don’t care what I know
Don’t say its all been a waste of time

I know that my love I’ll send
Could we still be friends but this is the end
I think it’s all going to work out fine

We’re better off alone
Than lying to ourselves
I don’t care what you’ve said
I don’t care what I know
Don’t say its all been a waste of time

Are you better off alone? (send my love)
Stop lying to yourself (send my love)
It cannot go unsaid (send my love)
I only want you to know (send my love to you)

It cannot go unsaid
I only want you to know
I think its all going to work out fine

Thats it… Enjoy..
