Oh [C] darling why'd you talk so fast?
[C] Another evening just flew past to[G]night,
[G] And now the daybreak's coming in,
[G] ………… And I can't win … and it ain't [C] right.
[C] You tell me all you've done and seen,
[C] And all the places you have been with[F]out me,
[F] Well I don't really want to know, but [C] I'll stay quiet and then I'll go,
And [G] you won't have no cause to think a[C]bout me.
CHORUS:
[C] There's a guy works down the [F] chip shop [G] swears he's [C] Elvis,
Just [F] like you swore to me that you'd be [G] true,
There's a [C] guy works down the [F] chip shop [G] swears he's [Am] Elvis [F],
But [C] he's a liar and [G] I'm not sure about [C] you.
Oh [C] darling you're so popular,
[C] …… You were the best thing new in [G] Hicksville,
[G] With your mohair suits and foreign shoes,
[G] News is you changed your Pick-up for a [C] Seville.
[C] And now I'm lying here alone,
[C] 'Cause you're out there on the phone to some star in [F] New York,
[F] I can hear you laughing now and I [C] can't help feeling that somehow,
[G] You don't mean anything you say at [C] all.
CHORUS:
[C] There's a guy works down the [F] chip shop [G] swears he's [C] Elvis,
Just [F] like you swore to me that you'd be [G] true,
There's a [C] guy works down the [F] chip shop [G] swears he's [Am] Elvis [F],
But [C] he's a liar and [G] I'm not sure about [C] you.

But [C] he's a liar and [G] I'm not sure about [C] you,
I said [C] he's a liar and [G] I'm not sure about [C] you,
[C] He's a liar and [G] I'm not sure about [C] you. [C] [G] [C
