Intro:
C   G  F
C   G  F

             C
You took my Love
      G       F
You took my trust
                C
And turned them in
      G       F
To a pile of rust
           C
Stole my money
         G      F
And you lied to me
                    C
You said we were shooting it straight
G     F
mutually

                 C
Now I think you want
 G        F
Me to be kind
          C
Bury the past
     G         F
And ease your mind

             Am
But I'm not here
    Em       F
To make you pay
                               C   G F
Baby I just don't know what to say
                               C   G F
Baby I just don't Know what to say

              C
It makes me wonder
            G         F
How long I been your fool
                    C
Though it hardly changes
        G        F
What I feel for you

                 C
And that's the thing
        G       F
I don't understand
            C
It goes to show
              G     F
What kind of fool I am

              c
Covered in darkness
        G    F
But I wanna see
                        C
What's the matter with you, babe
             G         F
What's the matter with me

             Am
If I could believe
    Em                F
I'd hit my knees and pray
                               C   G F
But baby I just don't know what to say
                               C   G F
Baby I just don't Know what to say

                 C
I know you're shocked
       G        F
At my loss for words
              C
'Cause I can talk
                   G     F
The wings off a humming bird
             C
I think too fast
               G         F
But not fast enough for you
                            C
And everything you always wanted
   G         F
To be brand new

                 C
Now my mind is tongue-tied
       G        F
I got two left feet
                     C
I can't dance outta here
          G       F
 I keep hittin' repeat

              Am       Em
And it's the same sad song
              F
The jukebox plays
                               C   G F
Baby I just don't know what to say
                               C   G F
Baby I just don't Know what to say
                               C   G F
Baby I just don't know what to say
                               C   G F
Baby I just don't Know what to say
                                     C  G F
Oh, Baby, I just don't know what to say

C   G  F
C   G  F
C   G  F
Am  Em  F
