I tell myself what's done is done 

I tell myself don't be a fool 
Bm         E     Bm             E 
Play the field have a lot of fun 
Bm          E                      A 
It's easy when you play it cool 

I tell myself don't be a chump 

Who cares, let him stay away 
 Bm                   E                Bm     E 
That's when the phone rings and I jump 
 Bm         E                    A 
And as I grab the phone I pray 
 E        A 
Let it please be him , oh dear God 

It must be him , it must be him 
 Bm       E           Bm     E      A               E 
Or      I shall die,                or I shall die 
          A 
Oh hello, hello my dear God 

It must be him but it's not him 
Bm          E     Bm     E            A                E 
And then I die,               that's when I die.

After a while, I'm myself again 

I take the pieces off the floor 
 Bm       E      Bm                  E    
Put my heart     on the shelf again 
 Bm             E                A 
You'll never hurt me anymore 

I'm not a puppet on a string 

I'll find somebody else someday 
   Bm                  E              Bm      E 
That's when the phone rings 
  Bm           E            A 
And once again        I start to pray 
 E       A 
Let it please be him , oh dear God 

It must be him , it must be him 
 Bm          E         Bm       E     A               F              
Or         I shall die,               or I shall die 
        Bb 
Oh hello, hello my dear God 

It must be him but it's not him 
        Cm       F      Cm     F      Bb             F# 
And then      I die,                  again I die 
          B 
Let it please be him , oh dear God...
