D#          G#           D#             G#
I tried so hard just to get through to you
D#                  G#
But your head's so far
          D#          G#
from the realness of truth
D#                    G#
Was it just a come on in the dark
       D#             G#
Wasn't meant to last long
   D#                            G#
I think you've worn your welcome honey
           D#      G#                      D#
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song

Time can pass slowly and things always change
Your days been numbered and
I've read your last page
You was just a temporary lover, honey,
you ain't the first
Lots of others came before you, woman
Said, but you been the worst,
said, you been the worst

Chorus:
    D#         D#/G
So goodbye to you girl
G#           A#
So long, farewell
   D#             D#/G
I can't hear you cryin'
      G#           A#
Your jivin's been hell
    D#          D#/G
So look for me walkin'
      G#             A#
Down your street at night
        D#       D#/G
I'll be in with another
 G#          A#
Deep down inside
 G#  D#/G Fm D#
Deep down inside
