Better Off Dead Chords by Elton John

[Start]

[Verse]
Db                                     Gb                Db
■  There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
                                                      Gb     
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
            Eb                               Ab    Gb
Away in the distance there's a blue flashing light ■ 
                               Db     
Someone's in trouble somewhere tonight
                       Ab              Gb  
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
               Db          Ab          Db  
The wind blows away all of yesterday's news
             Db                                                     
Well they've locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches
                                               Gb      
They always could find us but they never could catch us
            Eb                                      Ab   Gb
Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe ■ 
Bbm                         Gb        
We watched the arrested get taken away
Db                                  Gb  
And that cigarette haze has ecology beat
       Db                    Ab                Bbm    Ebm
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street ■  


[Chorus]
Bbm            F7                                    Bbm 
■   'cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire
               Ab                      Db      
If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired
F7                                          Bbm 
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
Ebm                    Gb          Ab      Db      
Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died


[Bridge]
Gb Db Gb Eb Ab Gb Bbm Gb
■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■   ■ 
Db Gb7 Gb Ebm Ab Bbm Ebm F7
■  ■   ■  ■   ■  ■   ■   ■ 


[Chorus]
                                    Bbm              
'cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire
Gb                                        Db      
■  If you ask how I am then I'll just say inspired
F7                                          Bbm 
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
Ebm7                                           Db  
Then you're better off dead if you haven't yet died
Bbm Db                
■   ■  Better off dead
Bbm            
Better off dead
       Db      
Better off dead
Ab7 Db Bbm Db
■   ■  ■   ■
