[C]
[Ebm] [Dm] [Bb]
[C] [E] I thought [A] I'd found the man [F] of my [Bb] dreams Now [Gb] it [Bb] seems this is how the story [Cm] ends
He's going to turn [F] me down and [Bb] say can't we [Ab] be [Bbm] friends
[G] [E] I thought for [Cm] once it couldn't go [Bb] wrong [Gb] Not for [Bb] long I can see the way [Eb] this ends
He's [C] going to turn [Eb] me down and say [Ab] can't we be [Bb] friends
[Eb] Now through [Bb] with love, through with men They play [Fm] their game [Ab] without shame
[G] And who's to blame?
[G] [E] I thought [G] I'd found the [F] man I could [Bb] trust What [Dbm] a bust, [Bb] this is how the [Cm] story ends
[Bb] He's going to turn [Eb] me down [Bb] and [Fm] say can't we be [D] friends
Yes, I thought [Eb] I knew the wheat from [Cm] the chaff [Gm] [G] What a laugh, this is how the story [Cm] [C] ends
I let her turn [F] me down, [Bb] say can't we [Ab] be friends
[C] [Gm] [C] I acted [F] like a kid out of school, [Dbm] what a fool
[C] Now I see [Cm] this [Bb] is the end, I [D] let her turn me down, [Bb] say can't we be friends
[Eb] Oh, why should I care?
[Bb] Those she [G] gave for [Bb] me's no air
[Fm] Why should I cry, [Ab] ever sigh, [G] and wonder [A] why?
[Em] [Bb] Yes, I should have [Eb] seen the single stop [Bb] What a flop, this is how the [Dbm] story [Eb] ends
