I think these chord shapes are the easiest way to play this song, so I've
tabbed it how I played it.
Nearly all barre chords, but easy enough if you can change chords quickly.

INTRO
BbDmDbm
Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor?
CmF
They're just tiny little rumors
CmFBb(2)F
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you.
BbDmDbm
Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous,
CmF
And I'm sure those other fellas
CmFBb(2)
Never once believed the lies I told were true.
EbBbmaj7
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man,
FBmaj7
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band.
EbEdimBb(2)G
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away,
CmFCmF
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
CmFBb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.
BbDmDbm
Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin'
CmF
All the crazy things I'm doin',
CmFBb(2)F
Is because I really care about you girl.
BbDmDbm
And I'll admit I go a little farther
CmF
Than I know I probably oughta,
CmFBb(2)
But it's all because I need you in my world.
EbBbmaj7
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail,
FBmaj7
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels.
EbEdimBb(2)G
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away,
CmFCmF
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
CmFBb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.

INSTRUMENTAL
CmFBbmaj7
I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else,
CmFGmCFF#F
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself.
EbBbmaj7
Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids,
FBbmaj7
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge.
EbEdimBb(2)G
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away,
CmFCmF
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour,
CmFBb
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.
CmFCmF
It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you,
CmFBb
And it never woulda worked out anyway.
