My Song (Lyrics and Chords)

Verse 1 (Am - F - E)
Babe you got a pretty face 
That's the only thing I like about you
Sadly, that's just the case 
Who knew that you could be so rude

Verse 2 (Am - F - E)
The way you treat me is so disrespectful
But I can't seem to stay away
With you, I find my self forgetful
And always come back the next day

Chorus (Am - G - F - E)
I'm not attached to you honey
But I can't let you go 
(Intro Riff x2 Horns)
The way you act is almost funny
The way you feel I never know

(Piano Solo)

Verse 3 (Am - F - E)
I hate the way you treat me 
Cause you always do me wrong
Why can't you leave me be
I know know we can't get along 

Verse 4 (Am - F - E)
I'm tired of your games, baby
All you do is let me down
And since I find myself being honest lately:
Your face is all that keeps me around

Chorus (Am - G - F - E)
Im not attached to you honey,

But I just cant let you go
The way you feel, I'll never know

(Bass and Baritone Sax Solo)

Chrous (Am - G - F - E)
Im not attached to you honey,
But I just cant let you 
The way you feel, I'll never know
