A5 
I tell myself what's done is done 

I tell myself don't be a fool 
B5         E5     B5             E5 
Play the field have a lot of fun 
B5          E5                      A5 
It's easy when you play it cool 

I tell myself don't be a chump 

Who cares, let him stay away 
 B5                   E5                B5     E5 
That's when the phone rings and I jump 
 B5         E5                    A5 
And as I grab the phone I pray 
 E5        A5 
Let it please be him , oh dear God 

It must be him , it must be him 
 B5       E5           B5     E5      A5               E5 
Or      I shall die,                or I shall die 
          A5 
Oh hello, hello my dear God 

It must be him but it's not him 
B5          E5     B5     E5            A5                E5 
And then I die,               that's when I die. 
 A5 
After a while, I'm myself again 

I take the pieces off the floor 
 B5       E5      B5                  E5    
Put my heart     on the shelf again 
 B5             E5                A5 
You'll never hurt me anymore 

I'm not a puppet on a string 

I'll find somebody else someday 
   B5                  E5              B5      E5 
That's when the phone rings 
  B5           E5            A5 
And once again        I start to pray 
 E5       A5 
Let it please be him , oh dear God 

It must be him , it must be him 
 B5          E5         B5       E5     A5               F5              
Or         I shall die,               or I shall die 
        Bb5 
Oh hello, hello my dear God 

It must be him but it's not him 
        C5       F5      C5     F5      Bb5             F#5 
And then      I die,                  again I die 
          B5 
Let it please be him , oh dear God...
