D A I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead D I'd rather be dead than wet my bed A I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead D I said dead than wet my bed G D Oh, I'd rather be gone than carry on E7 A I'd rather go away than feel this way D A Oh, I'd rather be there where you haven't got a care D And you're better off dead though it doesn't seem fair Chorus (with B and E) A E I'd rather keep my health and dress myself F#7 B But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf E B I'll tie my tie 'till the day I die E But if I have to be fed then I'd rather be dead And when he takes my hand on the very last day I will understand because, it's better that way Oh! It's nice to be alive when the dream comes true You'll be better off dead, it could happen to you Chorus (with B and E) by: José Duarte [email protected]
