 My girl 
 
 Came unto me
 
 Just the other day,
 
 Acting OK
 
 I was
 
 Reading alone 
 
 In my favourite room
 
 The TV was on
 
 [strum]
 
 C     G     D  
 May I be excused?
 
 C         G          D  
 For not telling the truth?
 
 Em          C  
 'Coz she's gone
 
      G   
 She said
 
        D               Em  
 She's better off on her own
 
         C  
 She turned
 
     G  
 Her head
 
      D  
 Much better off on her own
 
 A  
 My girl knocked on the door
 
         G               A          D                        
 To the place I usually refer to as home
 
 A  
 I dived, shoelace untied
 
             G  
 She looked in my eyes
 
 A  
 Small and suprised
 
 D          A         E  
 And God closed every gate
 
 Bm       F#m           E  
 The moon fell into the lake
 
 F#m         D      A  
 Boy, she's gone, adrift
 
       E                  F#m  
 She's better off on her own
 
       D              A  
 She closed, then she left
 
       E                Bm  
 Much better off on her own
 
 Bm  
 Sitting naked
 
 D             F#m  
 By the window sil
 
                E  
 Watching cars upon the hill
 
 Bm  
 Am I sleeping?
 
 D  
 I was dreaming
 
 F#m                 E  
 For just a moment time stood still

 F#m        D  
 Now she's gone
 
      A  
 She said
 
        E                A  
 She's better off on her own
 
      D         A  
 She turned her head
 
       E                 F#m  
 Much better off on her own
 
       D  
 She's gone
 
       A  
 She sighed
 
        E                 F#m  
 She's better off on her own
 
     D             A  
 The tears I have cried
 
                          E  
 Much better off on her own
 
     B  
 My girl
 
                        A           B  
 Came unto me just the other day...
