You were working as a waitress  [Verse] F# F# G# G#

In a cocktail bar - When I met you - …

I picked you out, I shook you up    ╔══════════

And turned you around               ║ Don't You

Turned you into someone new - …     ║  Want Me

Now five years later on             ║ The Human

You've got the world at your feet   ║   League

Success has been so easy for you - … ══════════

But don't forget, it's me who put you

Where you are now

And I can put you back down too          [Hook]

(Don't - Don't you want me       F#  F#  D#m G#

 When (I hear that won't see me/you    Bb  Bb

     say that you don't need me) x2)   Cm Cm

It's much too late to find             C#  C#

You think you've changed your mind     F  F

You better change it back or we will  (F#  F#

Both be sorry                          G#  G# x2)

I was working as a waitress - In a cocktail bar

That much is true - …

But even then I knew                    [Intro]

I'd find a much better place    (Bbm Bbm F# Bbm x4)

Either with or without you - …

The five years we've had have been

Such good times - I still love you - …   [Hook]

But now I think it's time              ([Intro]

I live my life on my own          [Hook - Last

I guess it's just what I must do   8 lines] x2)
