1. Hey, hey, hey, 

   F          C               G 
  why do you treat me like you do ?

   C         E
   Hey, hey, hey, 

   F          C               G 
  why do you treat me like you do ?
     
             C                                                C7

    There's just as many geese and they're flyin' down South,

     F                                            G

    as there are lies just pouring out of your mouth.

      C      E             F                                           C    

    Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?

 

             C          E        F       C      - G

2. You say that you're young, girl, I guess that's your big excuse,

            C       E        F         G

    but sometimes I get so low down, I wanna shout out, what's the use ?

           C                 C7

    When you've been a lovin' someone else, you don't try to hide,

            F                               G

    you take me for a fool then you take me for a ride.

      C     E              F                    C    

    Hey, hey, hey, why do you treat me like you do ?

 

                    C          E      F        C      - G

4. Ah, you seen my face, gal, with the tears all down my mouth,

          C                                 E      F         G

 you came up, you held my hand, gal, you don't know what it's all about.

         C                                            C7

    I seen you goin' out, there was nothin' I could say,

         F                                G

     I hung around your house till the very break of day.

             C                            E               

    And you came a-laughing down the bright highway,

               F                           C

    now, why do you treat me like you do ?

 

             C                            E                           

3. My mornings, they're all empty now,

           F                                       C         - G

    my evenings, they're just the same.

                C                                 E                           

    Now, maybe I been thinkin' wrong about you, gal,

             F                                       G

    and you ain't really the one to blame.

                   C                                       C7

    Keep on lovin' someone else, now don't you try to hide,

            F                                 G

    you take me for a fool, if it keeps you satisfied.

               C                                          E                           

    'Cause I ain't gonna be the one to ask the reason,

      F                                           C   

    why do you treat me like you do ?
