G               Gb             C         D       G     Gb    C         D
Standin at the door of the pink Flamingo crying in the rain

G     Gb          C     D            G         Gb              C        D
It was a kind of so-so love and I'm gonna make sure it doesn't happen again,

G   Gb    C       D   G             Gb           C   D
You and I  had to be  the standing joke of the year,

G           Gb        C D               G      Gb            C     D
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me I feel,



-(play normal C and D for the chorus)
Em           G        Bm  C  D
Take your hands off me, hey,

Em       G         Bm       C D
I don't belong to you, you see,

   Em         G          Bm            C  D
And take a look in my face, for the last time,

 Em             Em2  G
I never knew you, you never knew me,

Bm             C    D         G   Gb
Say hello goodbye,

    C         D        G Gb    C  D      
Say hello and wave goodbye,


We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but it
just wasn't me,
You're used to wearing less, and now your life's a mess, so insecure you
see,
I put up with all the scenes, this is one scene that's goin to be played my
way

(Chorus)
Say hello and wave goodbye

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming
frown,
As for me, well I'll find someone who's not goin cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who'll give me a steady life and not keep going
off the rails,

(Chorus) Say hello and wave goodbye(repeated)

Standin at the door of the pink Flamingo cryin her name,
It was a kind of so-so love and I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen again,
You and I had to be the standing joke of the year,
You were a runaround, a lost and found and not for me I feel,

Take your hands off me, hey,
I don’t belong to you, you see,
And take a look in my face, for the last time,
I never knew you, you never knew me,
Say hello goodbye,(BACK TO C-F-G on this line)
Say hello and wave goodbye,

We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt and me in a suit but it just wasn’t me,
You’re used to wearing less, and now your life’s a mess, so insecure you see,
I put up with all the scenes, this is one scene that’s goin to be played my way

(Chorus)
Say hello and wave goodbye

Under the deep red light I can see the make-up slidin down,
Well hey little girl you will always make up so take off that unbecoming frown,
As for me, well I’ll find someone who’s not goin cheap in the sales,
A nice little housewife who’ll give me a steady life and not keep going
off the rails,

(Chorus)
Say hello and wave goodbye(repeated)
