1. You don't have to paint me a picture, the handwritin's on the wall,

C D G

no, you never loved me at all.

G D G G D G

2. You've been out with other fellows, you think that I don't know,

G D C G

well, you don't have to paint a rose on me,

C D G

'cause I knew it long ago.

C D G Em

I have tried to make excuses for the things you do,

C D G - G7

I've tried to be fair in every way.

C D G Em

It's no use pretendin' that you haven't been untrue,

C D - D7

it's over now, so I'll be on my way.

G D G G D G

3. I don't need a fortune teller, I don't need a crystal ball,

it's very plain to see that you don't love me,

no, you never loved me at all.
