[Intro]
G7 C7 F

[Verse 1]
F
You tell me that you love me and say that you are mine
G7 C7
what's the use of crying, I get the short end every time
F Bb F
you chase around and round and round and always having fun
G7 C7
but if I try the same thing, baby, chase me with a gun

[Chorus]
F Bb F
I get the short end every time
G7 C7
I get the short end every time
F
if they made me king just for a day, I'd wind up with a bale of hay
C7 F
I get the short end every time

[Instrumental]
F Bb F G7 C7
F Bb F G7 F

[Verse 2]
F Bb F
I see a slick chick walking by and say babe, that's for me
G7 C7
boy, oh boy, but I found out, her sting is worse than a bee's
F Bb F
I think that I'm the sharpest guy, the hottest in the town
G7 C7
but when I try to get a gal I get the runaround

[Chorus]
F Bb F
I get the short end every time
G7 C7
I get the short end every time
F
of all the luck that's in this world, I get the oyster without the pearl
C7 F
I get the short end every time

[Instrumental]
F Bb F G7 C7
F Bb F G7 F

[Verse 3]
F Bb F
Each time I think I've got the girl and we're about to wed
G7 C7
I wake up just to find that I have only lost my head
F Bb F
when I think that I have lapped the world and sitting right on top
G7 C7
you can bet your bottom dollar, man, that I am just a flop
