So upset
                             C
Nervous wreck, can't believe ya said goodbye
G
Sittin' smoke
                              C
A cryin' joke about these tears in my eyes
Am                                    G
How could you do what you've gone and done to me?
C                                       D
I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me
G
But that's what I get

I've come to expect it from you
G
A million times

A million lines, and I've bought 'em every one

You rip and tear every dream I've counted on
Am                                 G
I guess that I should thank my unlucky stars
C                         D
That I'm alive, and you're the way you are
G
But that's what I get

You'll come back this time to find out that I'm gone
