Capo on second fret
                          "I've Been Better"

D                                  A
Darlin' after you left I got that promotion
                                                 D
They transferred me out to La Joya right on the ocean

And now I'm makin' more money than I can spend
            G
I've got a house on the beach and a bunch of new friends
     Em
Oh, you oughta hear what they say
        A
Tellin' me that I've got it made, But…

(chorus)

           G
I've been better
                                             D
Yeah, I miss those times when we were still together
                                                   A
Right now lookin' back I don't think the past has ever been so clear
                                            G
And I realize sittin' here as I write this letter
  A            D
Oh, I've been better.

D                                           A
I've been seein' a girl that I met out in Spring Valley
                                                               D
She's havin' the time of her life, least that's what she tells me

She say it's love and to tell you the truth
G
I've tried my best to feel that way too
        Em                      A
Oh, but I always realize when I look into her eyes, that…

(chorus)

A              D
Oh, I've been better.
