Intro: Dm

Dm
What'cha hidin',

Where you runnin',
Gm
Baby, you've been up to something
Bb                      A
Don't you tell me it's not
                  Dm
What it looks like

Dm
Had my heart,

But you tore right through it
Gm
Had your chance,

But you went and blew it
Bb                 A
I might have been naïve,
                  Gm
But I'm not blind

Gm
You done me in, oh
               Dm
You done me wrong
Gm
Got me good baby,
A
Good as gone

Dm
Don't you know you should

Know better than this
Gm
Than to cover up the truth

With your poisonous lips
Bb                  A
I'm not fallin for it this time
Dm
Try and try too little too late
        Gm
Better open up your mouth,

You got somethin' to say
Bb
Don't keep me waitin'
A                          Dm
Don't keep me hangin' on a lie

Dm
Think you made your great escape but
Gm
I'll be the one who got away when you
Bb                    A
Finally figure it out,
               Gm
You won't find me

You done me in, oh
               Dm
You done me wrong
Gm
Got me good baby,
A
Good as gone

Dm
Don't you know you should

Know better than this
Gm
Than to cover up the truth

With your poisonous lips
Bb                A
I'm not fallin for it this time
Dm
Try and try too little too late
         Gm
Better open up your mouth,

You got somethin' to say

Don't keep me waitin'
                            Dm
Don't keep me hangin' on a lie


Dm
Don't you know you should

Know better than this
*Gm
Than to cover up the truth

With a poison kiss
Bb               A
I'm not fallin for it this time
