A                            E               A
I sat at home on Friday last waitin' for your call
                                      E
Thinkin' as the hours pass were you worth it all
        D
As the tears begin to fill my head
        A
It 's then I thought to write instead
                  E                           A
Another hit song full of heartache thanks to you

[Chorus]
A                   E             A
Thanks to you I'm gettin' the applause
                                    E
Thanks to you and all the pain you cause
D
Credit must go where credit is due
      A
So I tip my hat and I toast to you
                  E                                A
For all the hit songs full of heartache thanks to you

[Verse]
A                                    E               A
Days go by and weeks will pass with not a word from you
                                             E
And I don't mind when people ask how's you know who
       D 
Cause when the tears begin to fill my head
       A
It's then I start to write instead
              E                               A
Another hit song full of heartache thanks to you

[Chorus]
A                   E             A
Thanks to you I'm gettin' the applause
                                    E
Thanks to you and all the pain you cause
D
Credit must go where credit is due
      A
So I tip my hat and I toast to you
                  E                                A
For all the hit songs full of heartache thanks to you

[Outro]
D
Credit must go where credit is due
      A
So I tip my hat and I toast to you
                  E                                A
For all the hit songs full of heartache thanks to you
