 Here we go.... 
 G 
 You're too hard to handle, scandal after scandal, you must think I'm naïve 
                     Am D                 G 
 I don't want you to go but I need you to leave 
      G 
 It's wild alibis and those outrageous lies you expect me to believe 
                     Am D                 G 
 I don't want you to go but I need you to leave 
  
  
 Chorus: 
       C                             G   
 Well, I've thought about it and I've made up my mind 
      D               G 
 It's time we call it quits 
     C                       G 
 You know you may be fun for Saturday night 
         A7                      D  
 But the rest of the week is the pits 
 G 
 Measure what we have between the good and the bad And there's just too much uncertainty 
                     Am D                 G 
 I don't want you to go but I need you to leave 
  
 Solo 
  
 Because you placed the blame on the pink champagne for dancin' naked on New Year's Eve 
 I don't want you to go but I need you to leave 
 I'll buy a one-way ticket to destination, you pick it anywhere from Tulsa to Tel Aviv 
 I don't want you to go but I need you to leave 
  
 Chorus 
  
 Anytime you're nice, I can't help but think twice there's always something up your sleeve 
 I don't want you to go but I need you to leave 
 I don't want you to go but I need you to leave 
 Aw yeah....
