Verso 1:
E                              A 
It's too bad I do not love you 
                                  E 
For you have worried me night and day 
              E                 A 
It is too bad I do not love you 
                                  E 
For you have worried me night and day 
         B7                     A7 
Until my heart begins to stammer 
                       E 
And my hair is turning gray 

Verso 2:
E                             A 
It's too bad I do not need you 
                        E 
Because we get along so good 
          A 
It is too bad I do not need you 
                        E 
Because we get along so good 
            B7                         A7 
You must be thinking, about this time 
                              E 
That my poor heart is made of wood

E                              A 
It's too bad I do not miss you 
                             E 
Because you are always on my mind 
          A 
It is too bad I do not miss you 
                             E 
Because you are always on my mind 
                B7                A7 
I want to stay around your circle 
                              E 
And learn to love you all the time
