Em D Am I better off dead Bm A Am I better off a quitter Em D They say I'm better off now Bm A Than I ever was with her G Bm A As they take me to my local down the street F#m G Bm A I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet They say a few drinks will help me to forget her But after one too many, I know that I'm never Only they can't see where this is gonna end They all think I'm crazy but to me it's perfect sense Chorus: D And my mates are all there trying to calm me down A 'Cause I'm shouting your name all over town Bm I'm swearing if I go there now G I can change your mind, turn it all around D And I know that I'm drunk but I'll say the words A And she'll listen this time even though they're slurred Bm Dial her number and confess to her G I'm still in love but all I heard was nothing So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences I know if I faced her face, that she'll come to her senses Every drunk step I take leads me to her door If she sees how much I'm hurting, she'll take me back for sure Chorus A She said nothing Bm G Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing D Oh I got nothing Nothing A I got nothing Nothing Bm G Oh I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Ohh, sometimes love's intoxicating Ohh, you're coming down, your hands are shaking When you realize there's no one waiting Am I better off dead Am I better off a quitter They say I'm better off now Than I ever was with her Chorus She said nothing Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Oh, I got nothing I got nothing Oh, I wanted words but all I heard was nothing Ohh I got nothing (I got nothing) I got nothing I got nothing You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  Em  F#m  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
