🎸 Verse 1:
C majorC
I lived in a tenement six floors above
C majorC
I lent you my records and I lent you my love
    F7F7                    C majorC
But you left me on the weekend without a by-your-leave
     G7G7
That's a dirty and a low-down trick
             C majorC    G7G7
My folks all think you're mean

🎸 Verse 2:
  C majorC
But I don't mind, that's kind of nifty
  C majorC
You always set those break-ups in the movies
  F7F7                 C majorC
And just like a light honey you put me out
    G+G
Now I'm gonna do my best
      G7G7            C majorC
To get you back in the nest you came from

    G+G   C majorC     FF  C majorC
You can erase me if you want to
FF            C majorC
Turn your back in other men
  G+G   C majorC    FF  C majorC
But whenever you're ready
G+G   G7G7        C majorC   G+G
Honey, we'll go steady again


🎸 Verse 3:
     C majorC
Oh, it's nasty without you in my little room
 C majorC
I miss you like crazy, please come back soon
   F7F7
I was joking with those things I said
           C majorC
I couldn't have been thinking
    G+G              G7G7           C majorC
If you don't come back I think I'll crack just like my old ceiling

Turn your back in other men

Honey, we'll go steady again
