  A                            E               A 
I sat at home on Friday last waitin' for your call 
                                      E 
Thinkin' as the hours pass were you worth it all 
        D 
As the tears begin to fill my head 
        A 
It 's then I thought to write instead 
                  E                           A 
Another hit song full of heartache thanks to you

Thanks to you I'm gettin' the applause

Thanks to you and all the pain you cause

Days go by and weeks will pass with not a word from you 
                                             E 
And I don't mind when people ask how's you know who

Cause when the tears begin to fill my head

It's then I start to write instead
