-4  5    -9   8    6   -6   7  -6
Nev-er treats me sweet and gen-tle
-7  -6  7    -7
The way he should
-7 -6 7  -7   8   -6   -7    -6
I got it bad And that ain't good

-4  5    -9   8   6  -6  7  -6
My poor heart is sen-ti-men-tal
-7   -6  7   -7
Not made of wood
-7 -6 7  -7    8   -6   -7    -6
I got it bad  And that ain't good

-6   7   -7   8    -7* -7  7
But when the week-end's o-ver
-6   7  -7    8  -7*  7
And Mon-day rolls a-roun’
-6 6  -6  -7  8  10   -9
I end up like I start out
 -7   8  -7* -5  -7    7
Just cry-in’ my heart out

-4   5    -9  8   6  -6  7   -6
He don't love me like I love him
-7 -6  7  -7
No-bod-y could  
-7 -6 7  -7    8   -6   -7    -6
I got it bad  And that ain't good
