Verse:
D               D
am I better off dead
Bm                A
am I better off a quitter
D                       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
            Gbm      G            Bm             A
I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet
D              D           Bm                A
They say a few drinks will help me to forget her
D                 D      Bm            A
But after one too many I know that I'm never
G             Bm                      A
Only they can see where this is gonna end
             Gbm        G            Bm              A
But 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 
Bm
Dial her number and confess to her 
G
I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing

Interlude: D        D     Bm     A

Verse:
D            D            Bm                   A
So I stumble there, along the railings and the fences
D                     D                Bm          A
I know if I'm face to face that she'll come to her senses 
G                       Bm              A                                   
Every drunk step i take leads me to her door
Gbm                       G
If she sees how much I'm hurting
       Bm               A
She'll take me back for sure

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

And she'll listen this time even though

Dial her number and confess to her 
G
I'm still in love but all i heard was nothing

She said nothing
Bm                                    G

Oh I got nothing
Nothing
