 A        E          B       E     A      E
(Having a hard time, feelin' blue, tryin' to 

     B    E
 get over you.)
[Verse 1]
E                                     B
Maybe it's just about time I told you I'm 

                  E
all through with you.

    E
But just about the time I start to tell you, 

B               E
I start feeling blue.

    A                                   E
And just about then I lose my nerve and wait 
another day or two.
       E
'Cause just about the time I think it's over, 

B                E 
I start missing you.
[Chorus]
 A       E          B    E   A      E      B    E
(Hardest thing I'll ever do, tryin' to get over you.)
[Verse 2]
     E                                B
It's just about time I had my say and told you 

           E
a thing or two.

     E                                    B
It's just about time I paid you back, for treatin' 

            E
me like you do.

    A                                      E
But just about the time I get the nerve I can't 
seem to carry through.
       E                                  B
'Cause just about then an empty feelin' reminds me 

       E
I miss you.
[Chorus]
 A       E        B    E       A       E        B    E
(Like to find somebody new, if I could just get over you.)

[Verse 3]
     E                                   B
It's just about time I let you know I've had my 

        E
fill of you.

    E                                        B
But just about the time I think about goin', I start 

        E
missin' you.

    A                                    E
I'd like to go find another love that'll never be untrue.

    E                                          B
But just about the time I think about leavin', I start 

        E
missin' you.
