Am7 D7  Am7   D7        Am7     D7    Am7   D7
I  told you I love you, now get out,

   G7   G    Fdim  G7  Fdim     G7   Fdim   D
I told you I love you, now get out,

D                  Fdim
Everything's rosy, everything's jake, 

     D9       G/B       Bm7-5     Edim 
But just how much can a good  gal take?

   G   G/F#   Em7     Edim      D
I told you I love you, now get out 

  
      D9     Am7    D7     Am7       D7        Am7     D7   Am7   D7
There may be times when I need you, there's no doubt;

       G7   G    Fdim      G7   Fdim    G7   Fdim   D
Baby, now you're something I can do without.
 
D                    Fdim
Leave your number and go on home,

     D9             G/B       Bm7-5   Edim 
But don't wait with sandwiches by the phone --

   G   G/F#   Em7     Edim      D
I told you I love you, now get out


E7    G   Em7           D
Baby,   please leave me be;

Cdim       E7/9               G/B  Edim   Em7 A7
You want a puppet, and there's no strings on  me.



Am7 D7   Am7      D7         Am7          D7    Am7   D7
Get out, you can leave on the five - eighteem.

    G7    G        Fdim G7 Fdim  G7   Fdim   D
Now don't go 'way sayin' I been mean,

        D                    Fdim
'Cause like any woman, I can change my ways,

       D9        G/B             Bm7-5 Edim 
And a round-trip ticket's good for 60  days --

   G   G/F#   Em7     Edim      D  G  D9   D6
I told you I love you, now get out -- for now.
