Intro: Am  Dm  Am  B?  F5 x2

Am Dm Am B?

F5      Am           Dm
Mean mistreater, you make me cry,
    Am              B?            F5      Am     Dm Am B?
You lay around, and watch me di-e-i-e-i-e-i-e-i-e. 
F5      Am                 Dm
Mean mistreater, can't you see I'm real?
        Am                  B?           F5      Am       Dm Am B? F5
Are you satisfied, with the way you fe-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-l?

Mid-part (just strum the chords):

G                                    F
I've tried hard to live without you, in so many ways. 
G                                              F
I just can't help myself from thinking of you, for the rest of my days. 
G                             F
Heartache is at my door step, won't leave me alone. 
G                            F
I just can't get used to it, now that I'm on my own. 

F5               Am        Dm
I know all about you, your childhood days,
     Am                B?            F5        Am      Dm Am B?  
Your mom and dad, your pretty fa-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-ace.
F5      Am          Dm
Mean mistreater, if you need me,
    Am             B?          F5        Am       Dm     Am   B?  F5 Am
I'm needin' you to set me fre-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e.   Mmmh-oouh.
