--First Verse--

F#m							  A   E
I had enough of this strange affair. Tried so hard but we got nowhere.
F#m							   A  E
You drag me down, what you doing it for? I can't handle it anymore.
F#m                                                A         E
Why, oh why won't you hear me? This information is yours for free.
F#m				     A F#m Stop
I'm telling you like I know I should.		I'm hurt, but you can't see the blood.

--Chorus--

C#m7  C#m    C#m7     C#m   B  A			E       B	NOTE: Alternate between the sharp minor 7th
Well, I must have been mad.	  Went to the doctor, I felt so sad.          and the sharp
chords just by
C#m7  C#m    C#m7 C#m   B  A			E         B	              hammering on your pinkie on the 6th
Yeah, I must be insane.      You turned me over again and again.              fret g string.

--Riff One--

--Second Verse--

F#m							 A	   E
Had enough of this strange affair. Plain to see that you just don't care.
F#m							       A        E
You been fooling around for too long. That ain't the way to be carrying on.
F#m							       A	  E
Why, oh why don't it matter to you? Don't you know what you're putting me through?
F#m				  A F#m Stop
But it's over, tears I have cried.           This strange affair is a thorn in my side.

--Chorus--

C#m7  C#m    C#m7     C#m   B  A			E       B
Well, I must have been mad.	  Went to the doctor, I felt so sad.
C#m7  C#m    C#m7 C#m   B  A			E         B
Yeah, I must be insane.      You turned me over again and again.

F#m						       A       E
Had enough of this strange affair. I was a victim of a love so rare.
F#m							      A	      E
Told me lies and betrayed my trust. Feel like a sucker with a teenage crush.
F#m							A	 E
Why, oh why keep leading me on? Don't you know you been doing me wrong?

Your best friend confirmed my worst fears. 	     Should have known it had to end in tears.
