Verse 1 (guitars continue as above; chords indicated are composites of
         all parts):

               G#m9     G#m7/C#               F#maj7                    D#m
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
               G#m9     G#m7/C#            F#maj7    D#m
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
               G#m9     G#m7/C#               F#maj7                    D#m
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
                   Bmaj7   B6        Bm7   Bm6
        I'm sitting all alone  by the telephone
               G#m7                          G#m7/C#
        Waiting for your call  when you don't call at all

Verse 2:

        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you play with my emotions
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        You're like a child at play  on a sunny day
        But you play with love  and then you throw it away

Bridge:

                  G#m9    G#m7/C#          F#maj7   D#m
        Why do you use me         try to confuse me
                    G#m9  G#m7/C#          F#maj7   D#m
        How can you stand         to be so cruel
                      Amaj7   Dmaj7
        Why don't you free me       from this prison
                Emaj7                 G#m7   G#m7/C#
        Where I serve my time as your fool

Verse 3:

        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        I try to stay with you  show you love so true
        But you won't appreciate  the love we try to make

[repeat first two lines of intro (two guitars w/drums)]

        Oh, it's-a got to be a shame

[repeat bridge]

Verse 4:

        Got to be a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        Ohhh, it's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        You've got my heart in chains  and I must complain
        I just can't be content  oh, look at (unintelligible)
