Bb 
Don't tell me the reason that you're calling   
       Eb                                     Bb 
Is to see if I'm all right since you've been gone. 
   F                                    Bb       
'Cause I know you and I know why we're talking 
Eb                                          F 
You're wanting me to say I'm barely hanging on

CHORUS: 
                 Eb                                                Bb 
I could         wash my car in the rain     Change my new guitar strings 
                                           Eb 
Mow the yard just the same as I did yesterday 
Eb                        Bb               F F#          F              Bb

Maybe when I don't have so much going   Or quite so many irons in the fire 
F                                            Bb 
I'll take the time to miss you like you're hoping 
    Eb                                      F 
But now, I can't put forth the effort it requires 
           Eb             F              Eb            F 
Well, I'd love to talk to you, but then, I'd miss Donahue 
         F#           F              Bb 
That's right, I got better things to do.

  Eb                                             Bb 
Check the air in my tires  Straighten my stereo wires 
Bb                                                Eb 
Count the stars in the sky or just get on with my life 
Eb                        Bb               F 
I don't need to waste my time crying over you 
F#         F              Bb  F#         F               Bb 
   I got better things to do      I got better things to do.
