F# (244322@1)then you got me by my roots, took the pain away

E (022100@1)I had to ask you where we going baby, Marvin Gaye

(chord pattern  E  F#  A  E  repeats during verses)
 If you can take a rain check on a stormy night
 Then I will love you 'til you're old, like you're Betty White
 You can hurt me any other day, pick a fight
 But not on Monday, Tuesday, wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
 And not the weekend either, cuz I got a song to write
 I promise I'mma hear you out when the time is right
 Let's have a talk, August 7, 20-99
 At your place or mine?

{chorus}

E (022100@1)                          F#Hey (244322@1)why you turn around and walk away
                        A (x02220@1)        
I know you got a lot to say
                                    EAnd (022100@1)I really want to talk about it,  Just not today, not today.

Is there an instrument to measure all the heartache, and
A looking glass so we can see where all the magic went
I need a button I can push so we can start again
Cause girl you bring me to my knees, Nancy Kerrigan......

{chorus}
EYou (022100@1)can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, 
        F#You (244322@1)can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, 
        AYou (x02220@1)can hurt me tomorrow, You can hurt me tomorrow, 
        E (022100@1)                                              
You can hurt me tomorrow but girl save it for tomorrow.
