Verse 1:
  A minorAm
Hey x-girlfriend
    E minor 7Em7
It's too bad when you had him
Dm7Dm7         E minor 7Em7
Your thing didn't work
     A minorAm        E minor 7Em7
But he's all mine now, so stop pursuing him
 Dm7Dm7              E minor 7Em7
Before you get your feelings hurt
     A minorAm       E minor 7Em7
See, our love is hot and no, it won't stop
    Dm7Dm7       E minor 7Em7
'Cause I got him on lock
     A minorAm
And although he rejects you
    E minor 7Em7
It don’t seem to affect you
      Dm7Dm7          E minor 7Em7
'Cause you just keep trying to get with him


Pre-Chorus:
  A minorAm      E minor 7Em7    Dm7Dm7
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
E minor 7Em7
Hanging up the phone
   A minorAm  E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7
When I answer, I know it
E minor 7Em7
Tears you up inside and
A minorAm     E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7
Why do you sit in silence
E minor 7Em7
On the other end
   A minorAm   E minor 7Em7
'Till I hang up and you
  Dm7Dm7   E minor 7Em7
Predictably call right back again

Verse 2:
  A minorAm
Hey x-girlfriend
  E minor 7Em7
Whatever your name is
   Dm7Dm7     E minor 7Em7
I'm really not amused
      A minorAm        E minor 7Em7
'Cause the things you do are very offensive
   Dm7Dm7         E minor 7Em7
And sometimes straight up rude
     A minorAm          E minor 7Em7
All those late night calls and notes on his car
   Dm7Dm7     E minor 7Em7
Won't get you anywhere
    A minorAm      E minor 7Em7
You can call his mom much as you want
  Dm7Dm7       E minor 7Em7
And he won't really care


Pre-Chorus:
  A minorAm      E minor 7Em7    Dm7Dm7
So don't, don't keep, keep calling
E minor 7Em7
Hanging up the phone
   A minorAm  E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7
When I answer, I know it
E minor 7Em7
Tears you up inside and
A minorAm     E minor 7Em7  Dm7Dm7
Why do you sit in silence
E minor 7Em7
On the other end
   A minorAm   E minor 7Em7
'Till I hang up and you
  Dm7Dm7   E minor 7Em7
Predictably call right back again

You gotta let him go, let him go, let him go
