            B
Is there a reason
                    F#
For things that you say?
                  B
The way you're treating me
                 F#
All the games I won't play
           B                  C#
Well it's too late, no longer one
     Emaj7    F#              G#m E
Don't want you, the damage is done

         Am7
Will you miss me
                    G
When I leave you behind?
          Am7
Will you tell your friends
              F
I treated you unkind?
          Am7                       Dm
Well it's over now, and I'm on the run
         F       G               Am
I don't want you, the damage is done

G Am
There have been rumors
                G Am
That my sense of humor is lacking in some ways
G Am
To me that's no reason, it's tantamount to treason
G Am
See what the judge has to say
G Am
You need to find someone half as blind
G Am
As I am to your games
G Am
And maybe you'll find out what it's all about
G Am
And it can drive you insane

F G               Am
Ooh the damage is done
           F                G
And now I feel it's too late
               Am
The damage is done
     F G
It's over
Am
Now I'm on the run
          F            G
And baby you and I know
               Am
The damage is done

   F                G
I feel it's too late
The damage is done
