[Opening]
[Am] [Dm]
[Am]I’ve always said that one’s enough to love
Now [Dm]I hear you’re bragging one is [G]not enough
[A]Something tells me you’re not [Dm]satisfied
You got [G]plans to make me one of [Am]four or five
[Am]I guess this kind of thing’s just in your blood
But [Dm]you won’t catch me carving [G]up my love
[A]I ain’t no puzzle piece that [Dm]needs to fit
If it [G]takes more than me let’s [Am]call it quits

[section 2]
[Am]`Cause I don’t wanna go on with you like that
[Dm]Don’t wanna be a feather in your [G]cap
I [C]just wanna tell you honey [F]I ain’t mad
But [G]I don’t wanna go on with [Am]you like that [Am] [Dm] [G] [Am]

[section 3]
[Am]It gets so hard sometimes to understand
[Dm]This vicious circle’s getting [G]out of hand
[A]Don’t need an extra [Dm]eye to see
That the [G]fire spreads faster in a [A]breeze

[chorus]
[Am]`Cause I don’t wanna go on with you like that
[Dm]Don’t wanna be a feather in your [G]cap
I [C]just wanna tell you honey [F]I ain’t mad
But [G]I don’t wanna go on with [Am]you like that
[Am]`Cause I don’t wanna go on with you like that
[Dm]One more set of boots on your [G]welcome mat
You [C]just have to quit `em if you [F]want me back
But [G]I don’t wanna go on with [Am]you like that [Am] [Dm] [G] [Am]

[Closing]
Oh if you [Dm]wanna spread it around sister that’s just fine
But [C]I don’t wanna second-hander feeding me lines
If you [F]wanna hold someone in the middle of the night
[G]Call out the guards and turn out the [E7]light

[chorus]
[Am]`Cause I don’t wanna go on with you like that
[Dm]Don’t wanna be a feather in your [G]cap
I [C]just wanna tell you honey [F]I ain’t mad
But [G]I don’t wanna go on with [Am]you like that
[Am]`Cause I don’t wanna go on with you like that
[Dm]One more set of boots on your [G]welcome mat
You [C]just have to quit `em if you [F]want me back
But [G]I don’t wanna go on with [Am]you like that [Am] [Dm] [G] [Am]
