Standing in the door of [F] the pink [Am] flamingo flying [C] in the rain
It was a kind of [F] so-so love and [C] I'm gonna make sure it never [F] happens again
[C] You and I, it [F] had to be the [C] standing joke of the [F] year
[C] You were asleep [F] around, [A] lost and [C] found and after me [F] I [C] fear
[F]
[G] Woah-oh-oh [C]-oh-oh
I [F]
[G] [C] tried to make it work, [F] you in a [G] cocktail [C] skirt and me in a suit
Well [F] it just wasn't [G] me
[C] You're used to wearing [F] less and now your [G] life's a [C] myth, so insecure you [F] see
[G] [C] I put up with all the scenes [F] and this is one [G] scene [A] that's going [C] to be played my [F] way
[G] [C] Take your [Am]
hand [Em] off [F] me
[G] [C] I don't [Am] belong to [Em] you, you [F] see
[G] [C] Take a [Am] look at [Em] my face for the [F] last [G] time
[C] I never knew you
[Am]
[Em] Say hello, [F] goodbye
[G] [C] Say [F] hello, [G] wait, [C] goodbye
[F]
[G] [C] Under the deep red light [F] I can see [G] the makeup [C] sliding down
[F]
[G] [C] Hey little girl, you [F] will always [G] make up
[C] So take off that [F] unbecoming [G] frown
[C] What about me?
Well, [F] I'll find [G] someone [C] that's not going cheap in the [F] sale
[G] A [C] nice little housewife [F] will give me a [Em] steady life [C] and won't keep going [F] off the [G] rails
[C] Take [Am] your hand [Em] [F]
[G] off me
[C] I'm [Am]
insecure [Em] [F] you see
[G] [C] Take a [Am] look at my [Em] face for the [F] last [G] time
[C] I never knew you, [Am] never knew me
[Em] Say hello, [F] goodbye
[G] Say [A] hello, [G] wait, [C] goodbye
Hi, [F]
[G] [C] we've been involved for [F] quite a while [G] now
And [C] to keep you secret, [F] it has been [G] hell
We're [C] strangers meeting for the first [F] time, okay?
[G] So [C] smile and say [F] hello
[G] [C] Say [F] hello, then [G] wave [C] goodbye
[F]
[G] [C] Say [F] hello, then [G] wave [C] goodbye
[F]
[G] [C] Say hello, [F] then [G] wave goodbye
[C] [F]
[G] Say [C] [F] hello, [G] wave [C] goodbye Goodbye
[F] [G] [C]
