Em Am D G
[Verse 1]
There may be Emsomething in the water
Over Amhere in California's
Got me Dfeeling like I'm better off Galone
Maybe Emit's the way you used me
Watered Amdown my love, abused me
And you Dalways criticized me on the Gphone
[Refrain]
EmOohAm,   DahG  
[Verse 2]
Would you Emkill me if I told you
That I Amnever wanna speak to you
'Cause Dwhen I'm on my own, I feel aGlive
And there's Emnothing wrong with crying
But my Amempathy is dying
'Cause we Dnever were that good, we'd always Gfight
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm better by mysEmelf (Self)Am  
I'm better when there's Dno you in my Glife
[Chorus]
I'm better by myEmself (Better by myself, better Amby myself)
I'm better by myDself (Better by myself, better Gby myself)
You're no good for my Emhealth (Better by myself, better Amby myself)
I'm better by myDself (Better by myself, better Gby myself)
[Verse 3]
EveryEmthing you do just wears me down
It's Amgetting old, I'm trying to run
It Dfeels like you're just wasting me aGway
When you Emchoose to terrorize me
And your Amconfidence inside me dies
You Dsuffocate me with the things you Gsay
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm better by myEmself (Self)Am  
I'm better when there's Dno you in my Glife
You're no good for my Emhealth (Health)Am  
You're no good for my Dtroubled state of Gmind
[Chorus]
I'm better by myEmself (Better by myself, better Amby myself)
I'm better by myDself (Better by myself, better Gby myself)
You're no good for my Emhealth (Better by myself, better Amby myself)
I'm better by myDself (Better by myself, better Gby myself)
[Bridge]
Woo
Em Am D G
EmOohAm,  DahG  
[Chorus]
I'm better by myEmself (Better by myself, better Amby myself)
I'm better by myDself (Better by myself, better Gby myself)
You're no good for my Emhealth (Better by myself, better Amby myself)
I'm better by myDself (Better by myself, better Gby myself)
I'm better by myself

[Intro]

1, 2, 3

Em Am D G

[Verse 1]

There may be something in the water

Over here in California's

D G

Got me feeling like I'm better off alone

Maybe it's the way you used me

Watered down my love, abused me

D G

And you always criticized me on the phone

[Refrain]

Em Am D G

Ooh, ah

[Verse 2]

Would you kill me if I told you

That I never wanna speak to you

D G

'Cause when I'm on my own, I feel alive

And there's nothing wrong with crying

But my empathy is dying

D G

'Cause we never were that good, we'd always fight

[Pre-Chorus]

Em Am

I'm better by myself (Self)

D G

I'm better when there's no you in my life

[Chorus]

Em Am

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

D G

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

Em Am

You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)

D G

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

[Verse 3]

Everything you do just wears me down

It's getting old, I'm trying to run

D G

It feels like you're just wasting me away

When you choose to terrorize me

And your confidence inside me dies

D G

You suffocate me with the things you say

[Pre-Chorus]

Em Am

I'm better by myself (Self)

D G

I'm better when there's no you in my life

Em Am

You're no good for my health (Health)

D G

You're no good for my troubled state of mind

[Chorus]

Em Am

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

D G

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

Em Am

You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)

D G

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

[Bridge]

Woo

Em Am D G

Ooh, ah

[Chorus]

Em Am

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

D G

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

Em Am

You're no good for my health (Better by myself, better by myself)

D G

I'm better by myself (Better by myself, better by myself)

I'm better by myself
