  			            C 
Many nights I've thought about it 
                F                  C 
Tried to find a way around it 
                F                                C                            G 
Tried to make believe we're lovers when the feeling?s gone away 
                C 
But it's a no win situation 
      F                                   C 
A hopeless game we're playing 
             F                              C                 
?Cause we both know it's over  
         G                         C 
But neither one will say 
 
           F       C             F                            C 
It's a dirty job, but someone?s got to do it 
 F                           C         G 
Someone has to leave, someone has to cry  
           F       C               F                          C 
It?s a dirty job, but someone?s got to do it 
 F                          C                  G                 C 
Someone has to be the one to say goodbye. 
 
                  C 
When the bitter words are spoken 
                    F                      C 
And all the promises are broken 
                    F                   C                      G 
When you realize the good times will never be again 
          C                                              F                      C 
How long can we keep lying and saying it isn?t dying 
  F                    C 
Someone has be the one  
      G                                       C 
To say we?ve reached the end  
 
 
Chorus 2x 
 
          F         C 
It's a Dirty Job
