Crying into your drink at the bar, I didn’t bother asking how you are. [Chorus -8 bars] [Chords: Ebmaj7 – Cm – D7 – Gm] What goes around comes around as they say, You better learn the rules if you’re gonna play. You thought you could treat me just like dirt, Now you’re the one who’s gotten hurt. [Verse 2 -8 bars] [Chords: Gm – Cm – D7 – Gm] Now you know how you made me feel, It’s not a joke, the pain is very real. Your last words were the deepest cut of all, Don’t phone, you’re not picking up my call. [Chorus -8 bars] [Chords: Ebmaj7 – Cm – D7 – Gm] What goes around comes around as they say, You better learn the rules if you’re gonna play. You thought you could treat me just like dirt, Now you’re the one who’s gotten hurt. [Verse 3 -8 bars] [Chords: Gm – Cm – D7 – Gm] You let a pretty face tear us apart, And left me beggin’ with a broken heart. But she never really cared about you, She left you behind for somebody new. [Instrumental Interlude -8 bars] [Chord: Gm – Cm – D7 – Gm, 8 bars] [Bridge modal lift- 8 bars; Shift to Bb Dorian] [Chords: Bbmaj7 – Gm – C7 – Fm7] You thought you were special and oh so fine, You were much too proud to say you were mine. But now you’re living out in the cold, And frankly baby, you’re lookin’ real old. [Outro: fade-8 bars] [Chords: Gm – Ebmaj7 – D7 – Gm] What goes around comes around as they say, You better learn the rules if you’re gonna play. You thought you could treat me just like dirt, Now you’re the one who’s gotten hurt. Now you’re the one who’s gotten hurt.
