      F                       
  That call was from the office  
        Bb                                   F 
  And I guess I?ll have to burn the midnight oil again.

  While I?m puttin? on my makeup,   I?m puttin? on the one that really loves me.

  The girls all got together and they called to see if I could have some fun tonight. 
  F#                                                           C#  (Walk) 
  But you know me, the only thing I do is go to work and watch tv. 
    F#                            B                                 F# 
  I watch him in the mirror, as I lie and tell him I don?t know how late I?ll be. 
            F#                  C C#                                    F#  (walk)    
  While I?m puttin? on my makeup,    I?m puttin? on the one that really loves me. 
                   Bb    B                           F# 
  And tonight I?ll cheat again, and tomorrow I?ll be sorry. 
      F#                                                                 C#  (walk) 
  And I?ll feel kind of dirty ?cause I?ll have the midnight oil all over me. 
      F#                                  B                               F# 
  God knows his dream would shatter if he knew the devil had me and won?t set me free. 
            F#                  C C#                                   F#

  eighth note count in C-C#.)
