[C]Wait a [C7]minute, let me finish
I know [Dm]you don’t care, but can you [G]listen?
[C]I came [C7]committed, guess I overdid it
Wore my [Dm]heart out on a chain around my [G]neck
And now it’s missing


So [C]I think I better go [C7]
I never really know how to [Dm]please you
You’re looking at me like I’m [G]see through
[C]I guess I’m gonna go [C7]
I just never know how you [Dm]feel
Do you even [G]feel anything?


[C] [C7] [Dm] [G]
[C]You said, “Don’t treat me badly”
[C7]But you said it so sadly, so I [Dm]did the best I could
Not thinking you [G]would have left me gladly
[C]I know you’re not [C7]sorry, why should you be?
‘Cause who am [Dm]I to be in love when your [G]love never is for me?


[C] [C7] [Dm] [G]
[C]So I think I better go
[C7]I never really know how to [Dm]please you
You’re looking at me like I’m [G]see through
