A  Asus4 A                                    A  
I don't always have to take those back roads, 
Asus4 A
when it's quicker on a paved four-lane
A  Asus4 A                                   D
I don't have to have my hand out the window. Ooh, just 
ridin' that wave
A  Asus4 A                                  A  
I don't always have to crack me a cold one, at 5 o' 
Asus4 A
clock when the work day ends
A  Asus4 A                                       D
And girl I don't have to be holdin' you when the sun 
sets

[Chorus]

N.C.                   A
But it's better when I do
A
Have you sitting right next to me, girl. When you're in
 it, it's a better view
A                                       D
Life's more than a little sweeter, with something so 
pretty to hold onto
A
  Girl, if I had it my way, you'd be right beside me, 
from Friday to Friday
A                                          D
I don't have to end off my days wrapped up kissin' on 
you
                       A
But it's better when I do

[Verse 2]

A  Asus4 A                                   A  Asus4 
I don't have to turn my hat round backwards, when the 
A
ball game's on the line
A  Asus4 A                                           
And I don't have to drink the first cup of coffee on 
    D
the porch outside
A  Asus4 A                                   A  
I don't have to speed into those hard turns, ain't 
Asus4 A
gotta play with that little white line
A  Asus4 A                                     D
Just so you lean over a little bit closer onto my side

[Chorus]

D                      A
But it's better when I do
A
Have you sitting right next to me, girl. When you're in
 it, it's a better view
A                                       D
Life's more than a little sweeter, with something so 
pretty to hold onto
A
  Girl, if I had it my way, you'd be right beside me, 
from Friday to Friday
A                                          D
I don't have to end off my days wrapped up kissin' on 
you
                       A
But it's better when I do
A                            D
Girl, it's better when I do, ohh

[Bridge]

                   A
It's better when I do have you hanging on my arm
     A  Asus4  A
Wish every day could end and every day could start with
 you
A  Asus4  A                       D
Just like this and I don't always get to

[Chorus]

N.C.                   A
But it's better when I do
A
Have you sitting right next to me, girl. When you're in
 it, it's a better view
A                                       D
Life's more than a little sweeter, with something so 
pretty to hold onto
A
  Girl, if I had it my way, you'd be right beside me, 
from Friday to Friday
A                                          D
I don't have to end off my days wrapped up kissin' on 
you
                       A  Asus4 A
But it's better when I do, Yeah yeah
A  Asus4 A                 D
Girl, it's better when I do
