Verse 1:
A      C    D
 Late last night
              C      A
I get a call from a so-called friend
             C        D
He wouldn't give his name
                 C            A
Says he saw you with another man
                 C    D
Feels like seventeen years
                C    A
It's only seventeen days
         C       D
Since I saw the real you
               C
And I let you walk away

Verse:
A         C    D
 You left me broken
         C     A
You left me stranded
             C         D
The way you play this game of love
            C         A
It's just plain underhanded
           C      D
I spent a lot of time
            C       A
And I spent all my money
              C      D
Don't want no other fool
            C        A  G  D/F#
To put his hands on you
 A                       G  D/F#  A  A  G  D/F#
Who you been talking to?
    A                           G  D/F#  A
Yeah who you been walking with?

Chorus:
A     G                A     G

Verse 2:
A            C     D
 They said I was playing with fire
          C      A
I knew I had to take a chance
          C        D
I had to take you higher
      C     A
To a new experience
            C      D
But little did I know
     C     A
I'd never get that far
                    C       D
Girl, you know you put on quite a show
                C      A   G  D/F#
You're going to be a star
A                         G  D/F#  A  A  G  D/F#
When you grow older, girl
          A                      G  D/F#  A
You'll remember I told you, girl

Chorus:
