[A A]  [D D] [E E] x2
[A A] Standing at the door of the [D D] Pink Flamingo crying [A A] in the rain, [D D] [E E]
[A A] It was a kind of [D D] so-so love and I?m [A A] gonna make sure it doesn?t [D D] happen again, [E E]
[A A] You and I - it [D D] had to be the [A A] standing joke of the [D D] year, [E E]
[A A] You were a runaround, [D D] a lost and found and [A A] not for me I [D D] feel [E E]

[D D] Take your [F#m F#m] hands off [C#m C#m] me, [D D] hey,[E E]
[D D] I don?t be[F#m F#m] long to [C#m C#m] you, you [D D] see, [E E]
[D D] Take a [F#m F#m] look in my [C#m C#m] face, for the [D D] last [E E] time,
[D D] I never knew you, [F#m F#m] you never knew me,
[C#m C#m] Say hello good[D D]bye, [E E]
[A A] Say [D D] hello and [E E] wave good[A A]bye[D D] [E E]

[A A] We tried to make it work, [D D] you in a cocktail skirt and [A A] me in a suit but it [D D] just wasn?t me, [E E]
[A A] You?re used to wearing less, [D D] and now your life?s a mess, [A A] so insecure you [D D] see, [E E]
[A A] Well I put up with all the scenes, [D D] this is one scene that?s [A A] going to be played my [D D] way [E E]

[D D] Take your [F#m F#m] hands off [C#m C#m] me, [D D] hey,[E E]
[D D] I don?t be[F#m F#m] long to [C#m C#m] you, you [D D] see, [E E]
[D D] Take a [F#m F#m] look in my [C#m C#m] face, for the [D D] last [E E]time,
[D D] I never knew you, [F#m F#m] you never knew me,
[C#m C#m] Say hello good[D D]bye, [E E]
[A A] Say [D D] hello and [E E] wave good[A A]bye [D D] [E E]
[A A] Say [D D] hello and [E E] wave good[A A]bye [D D] [E E]

[A A] Under the deep red light [D D] I can see the make-up [A A] sliding down, [D D] [E E]
[A A] Well hey little girl you will [D D]always make up so [A A] take off that unbe[D D]coming frown, [E E]
[A A] As for me, well [D D] I?ll find someone who?s [A A] not going cheap in the sales, [D D] [E E]
[A A] A A nice little housewife who?ll [D D] give me a steady life and [A A] not keep going [D D] off the rails. [E E]

[D D] Take your [F#m F#m] hands off [C#m C#m] me, [D D] hey,[E E]
[D D] I don?t be[F#m F#m] long to [C#m C#m] you, you [D D] see, [E E]
[D D] Take a [F#m F#m] look in my [C#m C#m] face, for the [D D] last [E E]time,
[D D] I never knew you, [F#m F#m] you never knew me,
[C#m C#m] Say hello good[D D]bye, [E E]
