 C            Bb
 Room 16 the Palms Motel
 F
 Now I can rest behind the door
 C                           Bb
 My life with you's become a living hell
 F
 Don't wanna live like than no more
 Dm                   Bb   C
 And whatever it will take
 Dm                      Bb    C         
 I will do to make this  final break
 F               Bb            C
 Yeah better off without you
 F             Bb          C
 Better off without you
 F               C            F 
 Better off without you in my life
 C
 So I'll unpack my bags
 Bb                     F
 And kick off these old shoes
 C                                     Bb
 This room is as good as anyplace I've ever been
 F
 For lookin at the truth
 Dm                      Bb   C
 Now it's all so clear to me
 Dm                     Bb       C
 What a blind man could plainly see
 F               Bb            C
 Yeah better off without you
 F             Bb          C
 Better off without you
 F               C            F 
 Better off without you in my life
 C
 Oh God here comes the tears
 Bb
 I'm gonna stay right here
 C
 I'll cry I've cried away
 Bb                     C
 But I won't go back no more
 
 SOLO
 
 C
 Looks like a change in the weather
 Bb                     F
 I can hear it start to rain
 C                   Bb
 I hope it's not too long this time
 F                     
 Before the sun comes out again
 Dm               Bb     C
 But if it rains forever
 Dm               Bb     C 
 I will still  be better off
 F               Bb            C
 Yeah better off without you
 F             Bb          C
 Better off without you
 F               C            F     Bb    F    Bb    F
 Better off without you in my life
