Verse 1

G                   C                D7                G
You're tellin' everyone in town that I don't treat you right
               C             D7                 G
You even say I stay away and don't come home at night
    C              D7               G
I'm losin' you and you are all I've got
         D7                          G
Thanks a lot (thanks a lot) thanks a lot (thanks a lot)

Verse 2

                     C               D7               G
It seems you like to hurt me and you know I'm good to you
                C              D7                   G
I'd give you anything I own do anything you want me to
     C                 D7            G
Yeah now you've really got me on the spot
         D7                          G
Thanks a lot (thanks a lot) thanks a lot (thanks a lot)

Verse 3

C                G                 C
Still I would forgive you if you'd let me
               G            C
I'd be glad if we could try again
D7                A7                 D7
But it seems that you're just out to get me
                          A7            D7
And it looks as if you're just about to win

Verse 4

G         C           D7                 G
No matter what you do I always will love you
                   C           D7               G
And you will never know how it hurts to see you go
        C                D7                  G
And for callin' me those things you know I'm not
         D7                          G
Thanks a lot (thanks a lot) thanks a lot (thanks a lot)

Verse 5

          C           D7                 G
No matter what you do I always will love you
                   C           D7               G
And you will never know how it hurts to see you go
    C                 D7           G
You say I'm happy but you know I'm not
         D7                          G
Thanks a lot (thanks a lot) thanks a lot (thanks a lot)
D7       G
Thanks a lot
