I tell myself what's done is done 

I tell myself don't be a fool 
Bm       E     Bm          E
Play the field have a lot of fun 
Bm         E              A
It's easy when you play it cool 

I tell myself don't be a chump 

Who cares, let him stay away 
 Bm            E          Bm     E
That's when the phone rings and I jump 
 Bm       E            A
And as I grab the phone I pray 
 E       A
Let it please be him, oh dear God 

It must be him, it must be him 
 Bm        E         Bm        E      A            E
Or      I shall die,                or I shall die 
     A
Oh hello, hello my dear God 

It must be him but it's not him 
Bm       E     Bm        E           A          E
And then I die,               that's when I die.

After a while, I'm myself again 

I take the pieces off the floor 
 Bm     E    Bm               E
Put my heart     on the shelf again 
 Bm          E          A
You'll never hurt me anymore 

I'm not a puppet on a string 

I'll find somebody else someday 
 Bm             E         Bm E
That's when the phone rings 
 Bm       E           A
And once again        I start to pray 
 E      A
Let it please be him, oh dear God 

It must be him, it must be him 
 Bm           E       Bm          E     A            F
Or         I shall die,               or I shall die 
    Bb
Oh hello, hello my dear God 

It must be him but it's not him 
     Cm       F      Cm        F       Bb         F#
And then      I die,                  again I die 
        B
Let it please be him, oh dear God...
