Intro B7M  E7M  B7M  E7M 
        B7M  E7M  C#m7 F#7 
 
          B7M 
You keep me in your orbit 
            E7M 
Well, I know I'm a hard one to please 
            B7M 
Give it too much importance 
             E7M 
My love'll have you fall to your knees 
               B7M 
I tell them this too often 
           E7M 
Know better than to bark up my tree 
          C#m7 
Just for me to fall and leave 
              F#7 
Nah, I'd rather just watch you smoke and drink, yeah 
 
B7M                       E7M 
Steering clear of any headaches to start 
 
And if we're being honest 
   B7M                            E7M 
I'd rather your body than half of your heart 
 
Or jealous-ridden comments 
   B7M                        E7M 
That come when you let in them feelings that I don't want 
           C#m7 
I never let 'em know too much 
            F#7 
Hate gettin' too emotional, oh, yeah 
 
B7M      E7M 
I'm better off without him 
B7M      E7M 
I'm better off being a wild one 
B7M         E7M 
On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand 
C#m7             F#7 
So that I'm better off not being around ya 
 
 B7M                               E7M 
Go on and face it, I'll never be ready for you, ready for you 
      B7M                          E7M 
I swear my love is a curse, make you handle issues, handle issues 
           B7M                       E7M 
Let's put them topics to bed and go fuck on the roof, just to say that we did it 
     C#m7 
You keep insisting I listen to your proposition 
F#7 
I dismiss them all, no offense, yeah 
 
 B7M 
Steering clear of any headaches to start 
 E7M 
And if we're being honest 
B7M 
I'd rather your body than half of your heart 
E7M 
Or jealous-ridden comments 
B7M                         E7M 
That come when you let in them feelings that I don't want 
           C#m7 
I never let 'em know too much 
           F#7 
Hate gettin' too emotional, yeah 
 
B7M      E7M 
I'm better off without him 
B7M      E7M 
I'm better off being a wild one 
B7M         E7M 
On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand 
C#m7             F#7 
So that I'm better off not being around ya 
B7M      E7M 
I'm better off without him 
B7M      E7M 
I'm better off being a wild one 
B7M         E7M 
On the road a lot, had to keep it a thousand 
C#m7             F#7 
So that I'm better off not being around ya
