  Standing outside my house

Don’t tell me you’re sorry cause you’re not

Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught

Before the sprinklers come on
E         B            C#m     A
Talking about ‘girl I love you’, ‘you’re the one’
E         B/D#           C#m   A

And the award for the best lie goes to you
A5 (no third)                  B                    C#m
For making me believe that you could be faithful to me
       D
Let's hear your speech

LIKE INTRO
E            B        C#m      A
How about a round of applause
E   B       D
   Standing ovation

CHORUS
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it’s time to go
Curtains finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining but it’s over now
Go on and take a bow
But it’s over now

NOTE:  This version corrects several chord changes, notably the subdominant 7th chord 
terminates each section.  Accompaniment at the chorus transitions from eighth note 
to straight quarter notes.
