[Bm7] How you did me wrong... and I grew [E] strong... and I learned
[E7] how to get along
Verse 1:
And so you're [Am] back... from outer [Dm7] space
I just walked [G] in to find you here with that sad [Cmaj7] look upon your face
I should have [Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock, I should have [Bm7] made you leave your key
If I'd've [E] known for just one second you'd be [E7] back to bother me
Verse 2:
Go on now [Am] go... walk out the [Dm7] door
Just turn a[G]round now... 'cause you're not [Cmaj7] welcome anymore

I used to [E] cry... but now I [E7] hold my head up high
Verse 4:
And you see [Am] me... somebody [Dm7] new
I'm not that [G] chained up little person still in [Cmaj7] love with you
And so you [Fmaj7] felt like droppin' in and just ex[Bm7]pect me to be free
Now I'm [E] savin' all my lovin' for some[E7]one who's lovin' me
Verse 5:
Go on now [Am] go... walk out the [Dm7] door
Just turn a[G]round now... 'cause you're not [Cmaj7] welcome anymore
