Am       D                  G                    Em
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
                 Am       D                  G         Em
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
                 Am       D                  G                    Em
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
                 Am       C            Cm    Cm7
        I'm sitting all alone  by the telephone
                 Am                       D
        Waiting for your call  when you don't call at all

Verse 2:

        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you play with my emotions
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        You're like a child at play  on a sunny day
        But you play with love  and then you throw it away

Bridge:

                     Am        D          G          Em
        Why do you use me         try to confuse me
                       Am            D      G        Em
        How can you stand         to be so cruel
                       Bb         Eb
        Why don't you free me       from this prison
                   F                   Am    D
        Where I serve my time as your fool

Verse 3:

        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you hurt me
        It's a shame (sha-ame), the way you mess around with your man
        I try to stay with you  show you love so true
        But you won't appreciate  the love we try to make
