[D] [A] [D] No, [A] no, [D] don't try to tell me, baby, cause I think [F#] I [A] understand.
[D] [A] You [D] [E] want me to try and forget you, [D] [F#] do [A] the best I can.

Then [A] it's only one thing for you to do.
You just pack your clothes, turn around, [D]
[E] slowly walk out of the door.
Look over your left shoulder as [D] you go out, then you hang your head [A] and you say,

You know, [N] after you have done [A] all you can do, and you [Bm] can't take no more,
[A] then you go [D] downtown and you get [Bm] your big baseball [A] bat and you come back on the scene where they both are [D] still together,
[A] and then you [D] just go and kick [D] down the door.
And as you kick down the door, you [G] just start beating the hell out of [D] everybody that you can see.
Everybody that [A] comes through the door, and just as you make up your [D] mind that you're going to [D] try to forgive her,
[A] then out comes another one [D] of your friends.
And that [E] really blows your mind, [G#] you know, you go and think about it.
You say to yourself, [D] baby, I realize I've done wrong, but please forgive me.
And [A] with a smirky smile on her [D] face, then she looks [A] back and she says,
[Dm] If you ever [A] think about me, oh, I'll think about you, baby.
If you ever [Bm]
[A] change your mind, oh, you'll stay on my mind, baby.
If you ever [D] think about me, I'll think about you all the time.
[G] If I ever [A] cross your mind, you'll stay on my mind.
Well, you [E] know, you know, you know I'm yours.
[D] And I know, I know [A] you got the fly.
There [E] [F#] is something on [A] your mind, baby.
I can tell [D] by the way you [A] look at me.
There is something on my mind, baby.
There is [D] something on your mind.
[C] [Am] Can you tell me something on my mind?
By the way you [A] look at me.
Oh, the way I look at you, you look good to me.
And what you're thinking, pretty.
[E] Yes, baby.
[D] [Am] I think you're pretty.
[A] Yes.
