Standard (EADGBE)

 key:

 intro note

Don't tell me the reason that you're calling

 Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone.

 'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking

You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on

 Well, maybe that was true for a night or two But now, I got better things to do

Chorus

 I could wash my car in the rain Change my new guitar strings

 Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday

I don't need to waste my time crying over you I got better things to do.

Maybe when I don't have so much going Or quite so many irons in the fire

I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping

 But now, I can't put forth the effort it requires

 Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue

 That's right, I got better things to do.

go to chorus

 Check the air in my tires Straighten my stereo wires

Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life

I don't need to waste my time crying over you

I got better things to do I got better things to do.
