Interlude:
Dm7G7 (x4)
Break:
Dm7G7 You're just a masochistic fool, Dm7G7Dm7G7 Because you knew my love was cruel. Dm7G7Dm7G7 You never listened when they said; Dm7G7Dm7G7 Don't let that girl go to your head.
Dm7G7Dm7G7 But like a play boy you said no, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 This little girl's mind you will blow, (ordi-nary pain). Dm7G7Dm7G7 But then I blew you out the box, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 When I put my stuff on key and lock, (ordi-nary pain).
Dm7G7Dm7G7 It makes me feel kind of sick, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 To know love put you in a trick, (ordi-nary pain). Dm7G7Dm7G7 I knew our love would have to end, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 The day I made it with your friend, (ordi-nary pain).
Dm7G7Dm7G7 Giving your love to one un-real, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 Like a big fool, I know you feel, (ordi-nary pain). Dm7G7Dm7G7 But in this lovey-dovey game, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 With all its joy there must be pain, (ordi-nary pain).
Dm7G7Dm7G7 But now the time has surely come, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 This game don't seem like so much fun, (ordi-nary pain). Dm7G7Dm7G7 You're cryin' big crocodile tears, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 Don't match the ones I've cried for years, (ordi-nary pain).
Dm7G7Dm7G7 When I was home waiting for you, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 You were out somewhere doing the do, (ordi-nary pain). Dm7G7Dm7G7 You know I'd really like to stay, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 But like you did I've got to play, (ordi-nary pain).
Dm7G7Dm7G7 You're dumb to think I'd let you be, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 Scott free, with-out some pain from me, (ordi-nary pain). Dm7G7Dm7G7 I heard your song and took a chance, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 But to your music I can't dance, (ordi-nary pain).
Dm7G7Dm7G7 Go tell your story 'sob-sad', (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 About you blowin' what you had, (ordi-nary pain). Dm7G7Dm7G7 Since one ain't good enough for you, (ordi-nary pain), Dm7G7Dm7G7 Then do your-self; see how you do, (ordi-nary pain).
