[Intro] 
(Spoken)
E        E7      A F#m7
Ah, remember this
B          B7        E
Why, I must have been thirteen when this came out
E           E7         A       F#m7
Or was it fourteen, Or was it twenty-two
B          B7         E
I could have been twelve actually
 
 
[Chorus]
E          E7         F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B           B7           E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E       E7            F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B           B7          E
Darling, I would rather let you go
 
 
[Verse]
E        E7           F#m7
Just because I want someone who's kind
B         B7          E
With a heart as good and pure as mine
  E      E7         F#m7
But maybe I am asking far too much
B              B7        E
Darling, please don't ever break my heart
 
 
[Bridge]
       A                B
I know you think you're smart, just running around
       B               B7
and breaking lovers' hearts
 
 
[Chorus]
E          E7         F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B           B7           E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E       E7            F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B           B7          E
Darling, I would rather let you go

B              B7              E

E              E7              F#m7

B              B7              E

E          E7         F#m7
This is Dr. Winston O' Boogie saying goodnight
From Record Plant East, New York
B        B7        E
We hope you had a swell time
Everybody here says, 'Hi', goodbye
 
 
[Chorus]
E          E7         F#m7
Just because you left and said, goodbye
B           B7           E
Do you think that I will sit and cry
E       E7            F#m7
Even if my heart should tell me so
B           B7          E
Darling, I would rather let you go
