[F] [Bb]
[F]
You should go and hang your head in [Bb] shame
The way you tried to ruin my name
[F] You even tried to put the blame on me
When all [C] along was you
[F] Who was breaking every sacred [Bb] vow
You didn't worry where or how
I [F] hope that you are paying for the way
You [C] left me crying here along and [F] through
With your fast talk and your smile
[Bb] So sweet I let you sweep me off my feet
[F] Thought my life would be complete
To have you form a [C] barely-tied
[F] Like a sailboat with no wind [Eb] around
I had no [Bb] power to turn you down
You [F] had your way with me
Till you grew tired and went your way
And left me here alone
You should go and hang your head [Bb] in shame
The way you tried to ruin my name
[F] You even tried to put the blame on me
When all along was [C]

[F] Who was breaking every sacred [Bb] vow

[F] [Bb]
[F]
What a shame the way you made me [Bb] fall
I gave my heart, my soul, my all
In answer to your lovesick calling
Hoped someday I'd [C] be your wife
But [F] the only thing you gave to me
[Bb] Was bitter tears and misery
[F] I may be wrong but seems to me
That you should pay for what you've done
[C] Cause you have [F] ruined my life
You should go and hang your [C] head in [Bb] shame
The way you tried to ruin my name
You even tried to put the blame on me
When all along [C] was you
[F] Who was breaking every [Bb] sacred vow
You didn't worry where or how
