[Verse 1]
C7                                                                             F7
I went around to your house, found you laid up in the bed.
C7                                                                                           C7
By early afternoon you were so sloppy drunk, you couldn’t even raise up your head.
F7                                     F#dim                   C                   C7
So, get on with your life, baby; please, let me get on with mine.
G7                                     Ab7
These days and your ways are so painful,
Ab7       G7      C7       Eb     Ab7                   G7
You’re just wasting all our precious time.

[Verse 2]
C7                                                                         F7
Since first I knew your name, I wasn’t sure that you really cared.
C7                                     C7                                     D7                   C7
Spent most of your time with the other boys & it’s been all downhill from there.
F7                                                       F#dim                                     C7
So, get on with your life, baby; please, let me get on with mine.
G7                                     Ab7
Each day brings a new confusion;
G7                   C7                   Eb     Ab7                   G7
another way to break this poor heart of mine.

[Bridge]
F7                                                                         F#dim7
I can’t begin to count the times that I’ve told you
C7
You better change all your wicked ways.
F7                                     F#dim7
But I’m real sure whatever the number,
Ab7                                                       G7
Ah, it’s the same as the times you laughed in my face.

[Verse 3]
C7                                     F7
Won’t somebody please wake me from this bad dream?
C7                                                       C7                   D7                   C7
I remember my grandmama told me, “Things ain’t always what they seem.”
F7                                     F#dim                                     C7
So, get on with your life, baby; please, let me get on with mine.
G7                                     F7
Each day brings another confusion,
Ab7                C7        Eb           Ab7                   G7
It’s about to break this poor heart of mine.
G7                                     Ab7
Oh, I’m gonna lose my only mind.
G7                   Ab7                                     Gm7
Baby, please, don’t you break this poor heart of mine.
