This is the heartbreak hotel,

Dm Gm
1. You said you'd be here by nine,
Dm
instead
you took your time,
Gm
you
didn't think to call me, boy.
Dm Gm
Here I sit, tryin' not to cry,
Dm Gm
askin' myself why you do this to me.
Gm A Dm
Since you're not around for me
to tell you, baby, face to face,
Gm A Bb
I'm writing you this letter,
and this is what I have to say.
Dm
All I really wanted was some
of your time,
Gm
instead, you told me lies
when someone else was on your mind.
Dm Gm
What'd you do to me ? Look
what you did to me !
Dm
I thought that you were
someone who would do me right,
Gm
until you played with my
emotions and you made me cry.
Dm Gm
What'd you do to me ? Can't
take what you did to me !
Dm Gm
2. Now I see, that you've been doing wrong.
Dm Gm
played
me all along and made a fool of me, baby.
Dm Gm
You got it all wrong to think
that I wouldn't find out,
Dm Gm
that
you were cheating on me, baby, how could you do it to me.
Gm
