Verse 1:

You`re no good heartbreaker
You`re a liar and you`re a cheat
I don`t know why
C
I let you do these things to me

My friends keep tellin` me
That you ain`t no good
Oh, Lord, but they don`t know
That I`d leave you if I could

Chorus 1:

C7
I guess I`m uptight
And I`m stuck like glue
F C [N.C.]
`Cause I ain`t never, I ain`t never, I ain`t never, no, no

F [1: as per intro]
Loved a man the way that I - I love you

Verse 2:

Some time ago I thought
You had run out of fools
But I was so wrong
You got one that you`ll never lose

The way you treat me is a shame
How could you hurt me so bad
Baby, you know that I`m the best thing
That you ever had

Chorus 2:

Kiss me once again
Don`t you never, never say that we`re through
`Cause I ain`t never - no! - never, no, no
Loved a man the way that I - I love you

Bridge:

Bb7
I can`t sleep at night
And I can`t eat a bite
F7
I guess I`ll never be free
C7
Since you got your hooks on me
Bb Ab
Oh, oh, oh yeah yeah

Coda:

F [continue as per intro]
I ain`t never loved a man
I ain`t never loved a man
Ain`t never had a man that hurt me so bad
No - but this is just what I`m gonna do
I tell you I`m gonna hold on to him
And I`m gonna ho-o-old on to him [fade]
