Ain’t no way to treat a
lady
G - C - G - C
(2x)
G Bm C
1. I guess it was yourself you were involved with,
G G7 C - Cm
I would have sworn it was me.
G Bm
I might have found out sooner
if
Em G7 C
you'd
only let me close enough to see.
Am D G
That ain't
no way to treat a lady,
Em Am D G - G7
no way to treat your baby, your
woman, your friend.
Am D G Em
That ain't
no way to treat a lady, no way,
Am D G
but maybe it's a way for us to
end.

2. I was only bein' in a picture
G
G7 C - Cm
with
all the colors I know,
G Bm
while
you were busy looking into
Em G7 C
wide
blue mirrors and lovin' the show.
+ CHORUS
Em A
+ There's a funny kind of
consolation keepin' me sane,
D D7 G Gm
and
I'd really like to share it, crawl on deep in my brain.

Bm
G
You see the times you never
felt me lovin' you or needin'
you,
G Em A A7 D
so leavin' you now you still won't know how to feel the pain.
G C
3. I was lookin'
out for my happiness
G G7 C
- Cm
while
you were looking within,
G Bm
and
before you know your own reflection
Em G7 C
always
starts to tire you, and it's happened again.
Am D G
That ain't
no way to treat a lady,
Em Am D G - G7
no way to treat your baby, your
woman, your friend.
Am D G Em
That ain't
no way to treat a lady, no way,
Am D G
but maybe it's a way for us to
end.
