[Verse 1]
You [G]could have had me baby,
[C]but you threw your chance [G]away.
You thought you had a rain [C]check,
[G]but there ain't no game today, well [C]good [G]morn[C]in' baby,
I wanna know,
what can I do [G]for [Gm]you, [G]yeah.
[C]Yeah.[G]
You [D]see, I don't seem to [C]recall
that we'd sign up any kind of rendezvous.
[G]Now[C],[C#m][C#dim][G]
[D]I want you to hear this, h[G]oney.
You remember one night, baby, [C]I was standing,
standing in the rain, yeah, [G]and you [C]nev[G]er,
you never asked me in, and I didn't [C]even complain,
[Em]no, [C]no, no, [G]no, [C]and you know, I was broke,
Wet, tired, and hungry
But you threw me right
[G]on out the door
Yes you did, yes you did, yes [C]you did
[C#]Now it's my [D]turn to tell you
[C]I just can't, I just can't,
just can't use you anymore
Oh

[G]But you had no [C]eyes for [G]me[Gaug][G]
[C]You, you could have had me baby
But it's too bad, it's too bad
It's too bad because you
need [G]me now
Don't you [C]think I [G]don't know

Way back when the time [G]was so right,
so right, [C]so [G]right
