Don't tell me the reason that you're callin'
C G
Is to see if I'm alright since you been gone,
Am G
Cause I know you and I know why we're talkin';
C Am D
You're wantin me to say I'm barely hangin' on.
C D C D
Well, maybe that was true, for a night or two,
C7 D G
But now, I've got better things to do.

I could: Wash my car in the rain, change my new guitar strings;
C
Mow the yard just the same, as I did yesterday.
G D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
C7 D G
I've got better things to do.
G
Maybe when I don't have so much goin'
C G
Or quite so many irons in the fire,
Am G
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping,
C Am D
But now I can't put forth the effort it requires.
C D C D
I'd love to talk to you, but then I'd miss Donahue.
C7 D G

Mow the yard just the same, as I did yesterday.
G D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
C7 D C
I've got better things to do.
G
Check the air in my tires, straighten my stereo wires,
C
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life
G D
I don't need to waste my time, crying over you;
C7 D G
I've got better things to do.
C7 D G
I've got better things to do.
