[4-BAR DRUM INTRO]
N.C.
 
[VERSE 1]
C                      Am   F          G
Standing in the door of the Pink Flamingo, crying
C             Am    Fmaj7
In the rain.
C              Am  F            G
It was a kind of so-so love, and I'm
C                     Am    F
Going to make sure it never happens again.
 
[VERSE 2]
C         Am  F         G
You and I, it had to be the
C                Am  F
Standing joke of the year.
C                     Am  F          G
You were a sleep around, a lost and found,
C              Am   F
And not for me, I fear.
 
 
[INTERLUDE]
               Whoa, whoa-oo-oh-oo-oh
Cmaj7         Fmaj7  G
Cmaj7         Fmaj7  G
 
 
[VERSE 3]
Cmaj7                     Fmaj7                G
I tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt.
Cmaj7                       Fmaj7                 G
And me in a suit. (Well, it just wasn't me.)
Cmaj7                        Fmaj7                   G
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess,
Cmaj7            Fmaj7                 G
So insecure you see.
 
[VERSE 4]
Cmaj7                             Fmaj7                G
I put up with all the scenes, and this is one scene that's
Cmaj7                 Fmaj7       G
Going to be played my way
 
 
[CHORUS 1]
Csus4      Am       Em     F  G
Take your hands off me-eeeeeeeeee
Csus4    Am       Em       F  G
I don't belong to you, you see.
Csus4   Am        Em           F    G
Take a look at my face for the last time,
Csus4             Am                 Em            F   G
I never knew you, you never knew me, say hello goodbye.
Cmaj7        Fmaj7  G
      Say hello, wave goodbye.
 
 
[VERSE 5]
Cmaj7                     Fmaj7            G
Under the deep red light, I can see the makeup,
Cmaj7                     Fmaj7       G6
Sliding down.
Cmaj7                       Fmaj7     G
Hey, little girl, you will always make up, so
Cmaj7            Fmaj7    G
Take off that unbecoming frown.
 
[VERSE 6]
Cmaj7               Fmaj7       G
What about me, well, I'll find someone
Cmaj7                          Fmaj7        G6
That's not going cheap in the sales.
Cmaj7                          Fmaj7                     G
A nice little housewife, who'll give me a steady life,
Cmaj7                Fmaj7       G
And won't keep going off the rails.
 
 
[CHORUS 2]
Csus4      Am        Em     F  G
Take your hands off me-eeeeeeeeee.
Csus4    Am       Em       F  G
I don't belong to you, you see.
Csus4   Am        Em            F   G
Take a look at my face for the last time.
Csus4             Am                 Em            F   G
I never knew you, you never knew me, say hello goodbye.
Cmaj7        Fmaj7  G
      Say hello, wave goodbye.
 
[VERSE 7]
Cmaj7                   Fmaj7        G
We've been involved for quite a while now,
      Cmaj7             Fmaj7    G
And to keep you secret has been hell.
      Cmaj7                              Fmaj7       G
We're strangers meeting for the first time, okay?
Cmaj7              Fmaj7       G6
Just smile and say hello.
