I guess I’ve had a million dolls or more,
  E7                                       Am
I guess I’ve played the doll game o’er and o’er

I just quarreled with Sue, that’s why I’m blue;
      D7                              G7  Gdim  G7
She’s gone away and left me just like all dolls do

     G7                                 C
I’ll tell you, boys, it’s tough to be a-lone,
         E7                                   Am
and it’s tough to love a doll that’s not your own.
G                G7     Gdim G           G7    Gdim
I’m through with all of them, I’ll never fall again,

‘cause this... is what I’m gonna do...
