Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  said the night you left me
 Nothin’ worse  could ever happen,
 But seeing  you with someone  else
 Proved that I was wrong.
 And when  your eyes met mine, I knew
 That you  were gone forever,
 Along with all the reasons  I had  for hanging on
 I’d be better  off in a pine box
 On a slow train back to Georgia,
 Or in the grey walls of a prison  doing time.
 I think I’d rather die  and go to hell  and face the devil,
 Than to lie  here with you  and him together  on my mind.
 Verse 2
I  always thought that someday, we might  get back together.
I  just thought you needed  time
 To spread your wings and fly,
 But when  I saw the loving way you held  onto each other,
 It was all that I could do,  not to break  right down and cry
 Repeat Chorus 2x’s
 I can't lie  here with you  and him together  on my mind
