G
I said the night you left me
        C                G
Nothin’ worse could ever happen,
    C               G
But seeing you with someone else
                  D
Proved that I was wrong.
    C
And when your eyes met mine, I knew
     G                C
That you were gone forever,
                   G         D               G
Along with all the reasons I had for hanging on


[Chorus]

       C
I’d be better off in a pine box
                        G
On a slow train back to Georgia,
                          D            C
Or in the grey walls of a prison doing time.
                   D             G                 C
I think I’d rather die and go to hell and face the devil,
        G             C           D              G
Than to lie here with you and him together on my mind.


[Verse 2]

   
G                                 C              G
I always thought that someday, we might get back together.
C                  G
I just thought you needed time
                         D
To spread your wings and fly,
    C                             G              C
But when I saw the loving way you held onto each other,
                        G          D                    G
It was all that I could do, not to break right down and cry


Repeat Chorus 2x’s

        C             G           D              G
I can't lie here with you and him together on my mind
