It Never Woulda Worked Out Anyway

           Bb  Dm                 
Oh lighten up, where's your sense 
   Dbm
of humor?
             Cm          F
They're just tiny little rumors
       Cm                 F       
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' 
        Bb(2)  F
out for you.
          Bb        Dm            
Oh settle down, I'm just a little 
Dbm
jealous,
        Cm               F
And I'm sure those other fellas
      Cm                F         
Never once believed the lies I 
       Bb(2)
told were true.

         Eb                     
Like the time I told that cowboy 
          Bbmaj7
that you used to be a man,
        F                          
And the doctor you were datin' that
     Bmaj7
 you hide your wedding band.
     Eb         Edim         
Even if I am responsible for 
Bb(2)         G
scaring them away,
    Cm              F             
You really ought to thank me, I 
  Cm          F
was doin' you a favour,
          Cm           F          
'Cause it never woulda worked out 
   Bb
anyway.

             Bb       Dm          
Oh can't you see, the reason that 
    Dbm
I'm doin'
        Cm               F
All the crazy things I'm doin',
     Cm             F              
Is because I really care about you 
Bb(2)  F
girl.
           Bb    Dm          Dbm
And I'll admit I go a little farther
       Cm              F
Than I know I probably oughta,
         Cm            F          
But it's all because I need you in
    Bb(2)
 my world.

Continues after the ad
         Eb                     
Like the time I told that lawyer 
          Bbmaj7
that you spent a year in jail,
        F                          
And the salesman you were seein' 
       Bmaj7
you hang out at cheap motels.
     Eb         Edim         
Even if I am responsible for 
Bb(2)         G
scaring them away,
    Cm              F             
You really ought to thank me, I 
  Cm          F
was doin' you a favour,
          Cm           F          
'Cause it never woulda worked out 
   Bb
anyway.

Cm                F              
I can't stand the thought of you 
    Bbmaj7
with anybody else,
Cm               F             
I know I've gone overboard but 
Gm      C      F   F#  F
I can't help myself.

         Eb                      
Like the time I told that dentist 
         Bbmaj7
you had seven little kids,
        F                          
And you doubled as a dancer at the 
Bbmaj7
strip joint on the ridge.
     Eb         Edim         
Even if I am responsible for 
Bb(2)        G
scaring him away,

You really ought to thank me, I

'Cause it never woulda worked out

     Cm            F              
It's all because I love you and I 
Cm                  F
can't stop thinkin' of you,
       Cm           F        
And it never woulda worked out 
     Bb
anyway.
