| D7 | G | 2 | 3 | D7 | G | |
| There were | 14 reasons for sayin' goodbye |
| Like the look on her face and the look in her eye |
| C | |
| And the | way that she broke the man down |
| G | |
| Left the man in | pieces here on sinkin' ground |
| There were 14 nights when she didn't come by |
| And 14 days when she left the man wonderin' |
| C | |
| Why he even bothered to try |
| G | |
| So baby, bye | bye |
| CHORUS: |
| Em | C | G | |
| On the | outside, | baby's such a pretty | girl |
| Em | C | |
| On the | inside, | baby ain't so pretty |
| D | D7 | |
| Pretty since you find a | lonely little world |
| Verse 2: |
| And there'll be one less man that the girl can bring down |
| One less man with his eyes on the ground |
| From his heart and his hands for the take |
| No more promises for baby to break |
| There'll be one less man with a tear in his eye |
| One less man who'll be hangin' 'round wonderin' |
| Why he even bothered to try |
| So baby, bye bye |
| (chorus; key goes up one step here): |
| E7 | |
| ... | lonely little world |
| A | |
| And there'll be | one less man that the girl can count on |
| One less man she'll find hangin' strong |
| D | |
| To the | tree that she could never change now |
| A | |
| Comes to | changin', baby don't know how |
| F#m | D | A | |
| Baby's such a pretty | girl |
| F#m | D | E | E7 | A | |
| There'll be | one less man with a tear in his eye |
| One less man who'll be hangin' 'round wonderin' |
| D | |
| Why he even bothered to try |
| A | |
| So baby, | bye bye |
| G | D | A | |
| Baby bye | bye |
| (repeat & fade): |
