	        I think these chord shapes are the easiest way to play this song, so I've 
tabbed it how I played it. 
Nearly all barre chords, but easy enough if you can change chords quickly.

INTRO 
 
 
           Bb  Dm                    Dbm 
Oh lighten up, where's your sense of humor? 
             Cm          F 
They're just tiny little rumors 
       Cm                 F               Bb(2)  F 
That I started 'cause I'm lookin' out for you. 
          Bb        Dm            Dbm             
Oh settle down, I'm just a little jealous, 
        Cm               F 
And I'm sure those other fellas 
      Cm                F                Bb(2)  
Never once believed the lies I told were true. 
 
 
 
         Eb                               Bbmaj7 
Like the time I told that cowboy that you used to be a man, 
        F                               Bmaj7 
And the doctor you were datin' that you hide your wedding band. 
     Eb         Edim         Bb(2)         G 
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away, 
    Cm              F               Cm          F 
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour, 
          Cm           F             Bb 
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.  
 
 
 
             Bb       Dm              Dbm 
Oh can't you see, the reason that I'm doin' 
        Cm               F 
All the crazy things I'm doin', 
     Cm             F              Bb(2)  F 
Is because I really care about you girl. 
           Bb    Dm          Dbm 
And I'll admit I go a little farther 
       Cm              F 
Than I know I probably oughta, 
         Cm            F              Bb(2) 
But it's all because I need you in my world.  
 
 
 
         Eb                               Bbmaj7 
Like the time I told that lawyer that you spent a year in jail, 
        F                                 Bmaj7 
And the salesman you were seein' you hang out at cheap motels. 
     Eb         Edim         Bb(2)         G 
Even if I am responsible for scaring them away, 
    Cm              F               Cm          F 
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour, 
          Cm           F             Bb 
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.

INSTRUMENTAL 
 
 
 
Cm                F                  Bbmaj7 
I can't stand the thought of you with anybody else, 
Cm               F             Gm      C      F   F#  F 
I know I've gone overboard but I can't help myself.  
 
 
 
         Eb                               Bbmaj7 
Like the time I told that dentist you had seven little kids, 
        F                          Bbmaj7  
And you doubled as a dancer at the strip joint on the ridge. 
     Eb         Edim         Bb(2)        G 
Even if I am responsible for scaring him away, 
    Cm              F               Cm          F 
You really ought to thank me, I was doin' you a favour, 
          Cm           F             Bb 
'Cause it never woulda worked out anyway.  
     Cm            F              Cm                  F 
It's all because I love you and I can't stop thinkin' of you, 
       Cm           F             Bb 
And it never woulda worked out anyway.
