Harry Edward Nilsson III (born June 15, 1941 in Brooklyn, New York - died January 15, 1994), usually credited as simply Nilsson, was an American singer-songwriter with a three octave vocal range. He won Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Male Vocal Performance for "Everybody's Talkin'" (1970) and "Without You" (1973), also his two biggest hits. Although both the aforementioned songs were composed by others, he was a talented songwriter in his own right, having written "One", a hit single for Three Dog Night.

Chorus: DA 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
GD Oh, I'd rather be gone than carry on E7A I'd rather go away than feel this way DA 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)
AE I'd rather keep my health and dress myself F#7B But you're better off dead than sitting on a shelf EB 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
