              G                 C 
You took me for a fool 
 
         Dm            C 
Then you took me for a ride 
 
G                 C 
You really had me goin' 
 
       Dm               C 
Till I looked into your lies 
 
Am                        D7 
I let you keep me hangin' on 
 
Am                           D7 
But honey here's where I get off 
 
  
         G   F      C 
It's the end of the lyin' 
 
            G     F       C       D7 
And I can't stand no more denyin' 
 
         F Em          A7 
It's all o-ver but the cryin' 
 
C              D7         G     C  Dm  C 
Honey it's the end of the line 
 
 
G               C 
Don't tell me a story 
 
  Dm                      C 
I don't care where you've been 
 
G                  C 
Girl I'm bound for glory 
 
      Dm             C 
And I won't be back again 
 
Am                        D7 
I let you keep me hangin' on 
 
Am                           D7 
But honey here's where I get off 
 
 
           G   F      C 
It's the end of the lyin' 
 
            G     F       C       D7 
And I can't stand no more denyin' 
 
         F Em          A7 
It's all o-ver but the cryin' 
 
C              D7         G     C  Dm  C 
Honey it's the end of the line 
  
 
         G   F      C 
It's the end of the lyin' 
 
            G     F       C       D7 
And I can't stand no more denyin' 
 
         F Em          A7 
It's all o-ver but the cryin' 
 
C              D7 
Honey it's the end  
 
 
           G   F      C 
It's the end of the lyin' 
 
            G     F       C       D7 
And I can't stand no more denyin' 
 
         F Em          A7 
It's all o-ver but the cryin' 
 
C              D7         G     C  Dm  C 
Honey it's the end of the line
