G                                         C
For a long long time now just about every night

    D7                               G
You found some excuse not to hold me tight

                                C
No matter what I do you sit and pout 

      D7                              G
Don't let that doorknob hit you going out


      C                               G
Don't let that doorknob hit you going out honey

D7                                    G
Others lips now thrill you there's no doubt

                                            C
There's no burden like the love you make me live without

      D7                              G
Don't let that doorknob hit you going out


                                 C
I've laid awake nights to two or three
 
   D7                                 G
So near to you but you're so far from me

                                       C
The battle's done you’ve won the final bout

      D7                              G
Don't let that doorknob hit you going out


      C                               G
Don't let that doorknob hit you going out honey

D7                                    G
Others lips now thrill you there's no doubt

                                            C
There's no burden like the love you make me live without

      D7                              G
Don't let that doorknob hit you going out


      D7                              G
Don't let that doorknob hit you going out
