[Verse 1]
If I could Cmkick his head in, fickle little boyfriend, I'd be satisfied...
If I could smack some sense into his senses, I might feel all right...
'Cause GI spent the weekend waiting all alone
AbFor that rat to Fmcome back home
GWhen all the while, he was with somebody new;
AbNow that I know, his Fmhours are few...
[Chorus]
'Cause CmI just can't forEbgive and forget
So Abwhen I'm through with him, he will be Dwishing he was Gdead...
And CmI know what he's been up to, and EbI know that he's been untrue;
When AbI am through with him, he will be Dwishing he was Gdead...
[Interlude]
Cm
[Verse 2]
If I could Cmsnap that neck, that broken record train neck, I might feel okay...
If he could speak the truth, but just be sorry, that would be the day...
But Ghe made me crazy, thinking I was wrong
That Abhe wasn't cheating Fmall along...
But GI gave him everything that I could give;
AbNow he's gonna wish he'd Fmnever lived...
[Chorus]
'Cause CmI just can't forEbgive and forget
'Cause Abwhen I'm through with him, he will be Dwishing he was Gdead...

[Intro]

Cm C

[Verse 1]

If I could kick his head in, fickle little boyfriend, I'd be satisfied...

If I could smack some sense into his senses, I might feel all right...

'Cause I spent the weekend waiting all alone

Ab Fm

For that rat to come back home

When all the while, he was with somebody new;

Ab Fm

Now that I know, his hours are few...

[Chorus]

Cm Eb

'Cause I just can't forgive and forget

Ab D G

So when I'm through with him, he will be wishing he was dead...

Cm Eb

And I know what he's been up to, and I know that he's been untrue;

Ab D G

When I am through with him, he will be wishing he was dead...

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]

If I could snap that neck, that broken record train neck, I might feel okay...

If he could speak the truth, but just be sorry, that would be the day...

But he made me crazy, thinking I was wrong

Ab Fm

That he wasn't cheating all along...

But I gave him everything that I could give;

Ab Fm

Now he's gonna wish he'd never lived...

[Chorus]

Cm Eb

'Cause I just can't forgive and forget

Ab D G

'Cause when I'm through with him, he will be wishing he was dead...

Cm Eb

And I know what he's been up to, and I know that he's been untrue;

Ab D G

When I am through with him, he will be wishing he was dead...

[Bridge]

Ab C Fm

What can I do? (What can I do?)

Ab G Fm

And what can I say? (What can I say?)

G Fm

To make it untrue? (Make it untrue?)

To take this pain away?

[Chorus]

Cm Eb

Cause I just can't forgive and forget

Ab D G

And when I'm through with him, he will be wishing he was dead...

Cm Eb

Cause I know what he's been up to, and I know that he's been untrue;

Ab D G

When I am through with him, he will be wishing he was dead...

[Outro]

Cm Eb

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh...)

Ab D G

When I am through with him, he will be wishing he was dead...

Cm Eb

(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh...)

Ab D G

When I am through with him, he will be wishing he was dead...

G Cm

That's... what... you... get
