Lyrics

(Am)Talk ing in my sleep at night, mak ing my self (G)cra zy.

(Out of my mind, out of my mind.) (Am)Wrote it down and read it out, hop ing it would (G)save me.

(Too man y times, too man y times.) My (Am)love,

he makes me feel like no (G)bod y else,

no bod y else.

(G)But my (Am)love,

he does n’t love me, so I (G)tell my self,

I tell my self.

(Am)One, don’t pick up the phone; you know he’s on ly call ing ’cause he’s drunk and a (G)lone.

(F)Two, don’t let him in; you’ll have to kick him out a (G)gain.

(Am)Three, don’t be his friend; you know you’re gon na wake up in his bed in the (G)morn (F)ing, and if you’re un der him, (Dm)you ain’t (Dm)get tin’ (G)o ver him.

I got new rules, I count ’em.

(I got new rules, I (G)count ’em.)

(I got ta tell to (G)my self.)

(I got new rules, I (G)count ’em.)

(I got ta tell to (G)my self.) (Am)I keep push ing for wards, but he keeps pull ing me (G)back wards.

(No where to turn, no where to turn.) (Am)Now I’m stand ing back from it, I fi n’lly see the pat (G)tern.

(I nev er learn, I nev er learn.) (G)But my (Am)love,

he does n’t love me, so I (G)tell my self,

I tell my self I do, I do, I (G)do.

(I got ta tell to (G)my self.) (Am)Prac tice makes per fect; I’m still tryin’ to learn it by (Fmaj7)heart.

(Am)Eat, sleep and breathe it, re hearse and re peat it, ’cause (Fmaj7)I...

I, I, I...

(Am)One, don’t pick up the phone; you know he’s on ly call ing ’cause he’s drunk and a (G)lone.

(F)Two, don’t let him in; you’ll have to kick him out a (G)gain.

(Am)Three, don’t be his friend; you know you’re gon na wake up in his bed in the (G)morn ing, (F)and if you’re un der him, (Dm)you ain’t (Dm)get tin’ (G)o ver...

Don’t (Am)let him in, don’t let him in, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t.

Don’t (Fmaj7)be his friend, don’t be his friend, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t.

Don’t (Am)let him in, don’t let him in, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t.

Don’t (Fmaj7)be his friend, don’t be his friend, don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t.

Don’t don’t, don’t.

You’re (G)get ting (CN.C.)o ver him.
