🎸 Verse 1:
C
I lived in a tenement six floors above
C
I lent you my records and I lent you my love
        F7                                       C
But you left me on the weekend without a by-your-leave
         G7
That's a dirty and a low-down trick
                          C        G7
My folks all think you're mean

🎸 Verse 2:
    C
But I don't mind, that's kind of nifty
    C
You always set those break-ups in the movies
    F7                                 C
And just like a light honey you put me out
        G
Now I'm gonna do my best
           G7                        C
To get you back in the nest you came from

🎸 Chorus:
        G     C         F    C
You can erase me if you want to
F                       C
Turn your back in other men
    G      C        F    C
But whenever you're ready
G      G7               C     G
Honey, we'll go steady again


🎸 Verse 3:
         C
Oh, it's nasty without you in my little room
  C
I miss you like crazy, please come back soon
      F7
I was joking with those things I said
                     C
I couldn't have been thinking
       G                            G7                      C
If you don't come back I think I'll crack just like my old ceiling

🎸 Chorus:
        G     C         F    C
You can erase me if you want to
F                       C
Turn your back in other men
    G      C        F    C
But whenever you're ready
G      G7               C     G
Honey, we'll go steady again
