Intro: G# F# E F# G# F# E F#
G#m7 E F#
Can't you see he doesn't care
G#m7 E F#
He likes to play with you that's all
G#m7 E F#
He's waiting on someone else's call
D#m7 Bmaj7 E G#m7 F# G#m7 F#
He's playing it cool, why's it so hard to reach you?
G#m7 E F#
Why are you still out there
G#m7 E F#
Beating your heart against the wall
G#m7 E F#
Waiting for Jericho to fall
D#m7 Bmaj7 E G#m7 C#m7 B F#
You hard-headed fool, didn't your mama teach you anything at all?
B D#m7 G#m7
You can't treat the wrong man right
B D#m7 Emaj7
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
G#m7 D#m7 Emaj7
He'll wreck all your best laid plans for spite
C#m7 B F#
You can't treat the wrong man right
B D#m7 G#m7
You can't treat the right man wrong
B D#m7 Emaj7
When you're out on the town, acting mean and head-strong
G#m7 D#m7 Emaj7
He'll sit home and wait for you all night long
C#m7 B G# F# E F# G# F# E F#
You can't treat the right man wrong
I heard it on the telephone
A woman was whispering in my ear
And though I was trying not to hear
The message came through, she was someone who knew you
I guess she told me everything
I wasn't listening anyway
I know she had a lot to say
But nothing was clear, I only remember her voice
Above the sound of the pinball saying to me
You can't treat the wrong man right
Or change a devil to an angel overnight
He'll steal all your love and and fly by night
You can't treat the wrong man right
You can't treat the right man wrong
You can run all the way from here to Hong Kong
And he'll be waiting when you come back in sight
You can't treat the right man wrong
You can't treat the wrong man right
