[Verse]
          F                Bb     C
Well you take it all for granted
              F             Bb   C
So it should come as no surprise
           F              Bb      C
That your big balloon is gonna burst
 F                G    C
Right before your eyes
         F                 Bb  C
Well you always call your mama
 F              Bb  C
Just for sympathy
        F                Bb      C
But I tried to show you years ago
    F                   G   C
So don't come crying to me


[Chorus]
               C               Bb
Now it's your last chance the night is over
 C               Bb
Last chance for love
              C               Bb
Well you can blame it on the bossa nova
            C                Bb  F
You can't blame me when I'm gone

[Verse]
          F               Bb    C
Well you call me up for favours
     F                Bb  C
You say that it's my turn
         F                     Bb           C
Well I think I'll stand on my hard earned drive
     F                  G    C
And watch your bridges burn
        F              Bb    C
Well I saw my Guardian Angel
    F           Bb   C
He said I can refuse
          F                        Bb        C
Well I'd take the chance but it's hard to dance
      F                G   C
With size 8 concrete shoes


[Chorus]
               C               Bb
Now it's your last chance the night is over
 C               Bb
Last chance for love
              C               Bb
Well you can blame it on the bossa nova
            C                Bb  F
You can't blame me when I'm gone

You can't blame me when I'm gone
