C#m                     E
You let me follow you around
C#m                           E
It helped your status in the town
       Amaj7            G#m
Well I didn't know your name
            C#m               G#m
There's no truth in what you claim
      Amaj7             B                 E
So I think you better stop this foolin' 'round

I think it's called a lesson learned
When one so close suddenly turns
Leaves you standing on your own
Got no place to call your home
So I think you better stop this foolin' 'round

C#m          A7            Dmaj7
Now it's my time to make amends
        C#7             F#m
Hope my message don't offend
      F#m7                B
And I hope this doesn't drive you 'round the bend

       Amaj7                G#m
Leaves you standing on your own
       C#m                G#m
Got no place to call your home
     Amaj7              B                 C#m
So I think you better stop this foolin' 'round
       Amaj7              B                 E
Yes, I think you better stop this foolin' 'round

                 C#m                        E
Yes, I think you better stop this foolin' 'round
