INTRO:
      F                C
  You run around, stay out all night;
      F                C
  you take my love for granted;
      F                   C
  you put me down; you've pushed me right
      D            G            G7
where I can barely stand it...

      C                   F
    I know that you're no good for me,
      C             G
   so soon as I can do it,
      C                 F
  I'm out the door, I'm history
    ( C      G )          C
  an' here's how I'll see to it:
      C              F
    I keep a list of things to do
      C                  G
   so chores won't be forgotten.
      C                   F
    I added this:  "break up with you"
    ( C         G )      C7
    - somewhere near the bottom, after:
      C
      1. get the groceries,
      F7
      2. do the laundry,
      C                  G
    - there's so much to do - 
      C
      3. scrub the toilet
      F
      4. check the oil an'
      G                C
      5. break up with you.

    I gotta find a woman who
won't keep my love in limbo.
    I swear I will 'til I see  you,
   my will flies out the window.
 Yeah my new love is gonna show
      respect that I been missin',
 I'll find her soon as I'm not so
   distracted by your kissin'; then I'll:
      1. fix the lampshade,
      2. get the bills paid,
    - got so much to do - 
      3. take the car in
      4. weed the garden
      5. break up with you.

    I keep a list of things to do,
those jobs that need addressin',
  but when you're with me, dumpin' you
    becomes a lot less pressin'.

      F            C
    I never get to number five
      G                    C
    - leave you honey, get on with life - 
      F           Am
can't even get to number four
      D                G7
    before     there's two chores more, like:

      1. call my mother,
      2. cook some supper,
      3. pack some lunches too
      4. do the dishes,
      5. mop the kitchen
    - no time left to do: 
         make my exit, take off, break up with you.
