xintro :
C#7 C7 B7 * A#7
verse 1 :
E7
chameleon , you’re breakin’ his heart .
it’s in pieces on the ground , all apart .
A7 D7 E7
there’s nothing that that boy won’t do , when it comes to you .
E7
chameleon , you know that it’s wrong ,
but it’s fun to have someone you can pull along .
A7 D7 E7
the way you treat that boy ain’t fair , but he don’t care .
A7 E7
what does it mean if you know you don’t mean it?
A7 B7
what does it say if you got nothing to say?
chorus :
E7
he’s just your silly little thing , hangin’ on a string ,
A7
waitin’ by the phone , prayin’ it’ll ring .
E7
you know it ain’t right .
’cause you ain’t never gonna do what he wants to ,
A7
kneelin’ by the bed , prayin’ it’s true .
E7
you know it ain’t right .
you know it ain’t right .
C#7 C7 B7 * A#7
verse 2 :
E7
chameleon , what’s he gonna do?
you gloss them lips , shake them hips .
honey , what’s wrong with you?
A7 D7 E7
he’ll follow you wherever you go , and i know you know .
A7 E7
what does it mean if you know you don’t mean it?
A7 B7
what does it say if you got nothing to say?
chorus :
E7
he’s just your silly little thing , hangin’ on a string ,
A7
waitin’ by the phone , prayin’ it’ll ring .
E7
you know it ain’t right .
’cause you ain’t never gonna do what he wants to ,
A7
kneelin’ by the bed , prayin’ it’s true .
E7
you know it ain’t right .
bridge :
D7 A7 E7
you ain’t gotta tell me , he fell too fast .
D7 A7 B7
but won’t you just tell him that it ain’t gonna last?
oh , no , it ain’t gonna last .
E7 A7 E7 E7 A7 E7
A7 E7
what does it mean if you know you don’t mean it?

what does it say if you got nothing to say?
