  You look so dumb right now
E         B            C#m     A
  Standing outside my house
E          B
Trying to apologize
C#m            A
You�re so ugly when you cry

Please, just cut it out

BRIDGE
E                    B                  C#m      A
Don�t tell me you�re sorry cause you�re not
            E                B             D
Baby when I know you�re only sorry you got caught

CHORUS
        E              B
But you put on quite a show
C#m           A

But now it�s time to go

Go on and take a bow

VERSE 2

You better hurry up
E         B/D#           C#m   A
Before the sprinklers come on
E         B            C#m     A
Talking about �girl I love you�, �you�re the one�
E         B/D#           C#m   A
This just looks like the re-run
E            B      D
Please, what else is on

BRIDGE
E                    B                  C#m      A
Don�t tell me you�re sorry cause you�re not

But now it�s time to go

Curtains finally closing
 E               B
That was quite a show
 C#m         A
Very entertaining
F#m      G#   A
But it�s over now
A         E/G#     D
Go on and take a bow

INTERLUDE
Ooh
A        B            C#m      F#m
And the award for the best lie goes to you
A5 (no third)                  B                    C#m
For making me believe that you could be faithful to me
       D
Let's hear your speech

LIKE INTRO
E            B        C#m      A
How about a round of applause
E   B       D
   Standing ovation

CHORUS
But you put on quite a show
Really had me going
But now it�s time to go
Curtains finally closing
That was quite a show
Very entertaining but it�s over now
Go on and take a bow
But it�s over now

NOTE:  This version corrects several chord changes, notably the subdominant 7th chord 
terminates each section.  Accompaniment at the chorus transitions from eighth note 
to straight quarter notes.
