[Verse 1]
C           G            Am7  F
  You look so dumb right now,
C          G          Am7    F
  Standin' outside my house,
C           G
Tryin' to apologize,
Am7             F
You’re so ugly when you cry,
  C          G/B    Bbsus2
Please, just cut it out.
[Chorus]
     C                     G                  Am7   F
and Don’t tell me you’re sorry 'cause you’re not,
             C                G             Bbsus2
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught,
         C              G
But you put on quite a show
     Am7           F
You really had me goin',
     C                G
But now it’s time to go
 Am7               F
Curtain’s finally closin'
 C                G
That was quite a show
Am7        F      Dm7
Very entertainin',
          C/E  F
But it’s over now (but it's over now),
F          C/E   Bbsus2
Go on and take a bow, ohh ohh.
[Verse 2]
 C           G              Am7        F
  Grab your clothes and get gone (get gone),
                 C               G            Am7       F
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on (come on),
               C                 G
Talkin’ 'bout girl, I love you, you’re the one,
Am7                  F
This just looks like the re-run,
C              G/B     Bbsus2
  Please, what else is on.
[Chorus]
     C                     G                  Am7   F

Go on and take a bow,
[Bridge]
Fadd9     G           Am7               Dm7
And the award for the best liar goes to you (goes to you),
       C/E  Fadd9           G               Am7
For makin'  me believe that you could be faithful to me,
      Bbsus2
Let's hear your speech out,
C              G           Am7   F
  How about a round of applause,
C      G/B      Bbsus2
   A standin' ovation.
         C              G
But you put on quite a show
     Am7           F
You really had me goin',
 C                G
now it’s time to go
 Am7               F
Curtain’s finally closin'
