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)
