Dealing you loss for the first time, taking you on for the very last time.
Putting you off for the first time, putting you up for the very last time.

B -> D -> B
La la etc.

Verse 2
B                                        D                             E
Talk to the hand 'til your face is blue, cuz now you're talking to a dream come
true.
B                                      D                              E
Heard you say I was a waste of time, well now you spend it at the back of the
line.

Chorus 2: same notes

Telling you once for the first time, telling you off for the very last time.
Putting you up for the first time, putting you off for the very last time.

B -> D -> E
La la etc.

B            D          E                 B
I don't need anyone, oh I don't need anyone.

Solo: It starts in B, but I'd need a longer attention span to tab it all.

Verse 3
(intro riff)                            D                       E
Talk to the hand if you're gonna speak, I wanna know what's comin' on next week.
B                                        D                                  E
So in days to come when you wanna shout, if you see five fingers you should let
it all out.

Chorus: same notes and chord progression

Putting you on for the first time, putting you up for the very last time.
Telling you once for the first time, telling you off for the very last time.
Taking your shots for the first time, taking your licks for the very last time.
Telling you lies for the first time, telling the truth for now.

Outro:
B -> D -> E
Talk to the hand, talk to the hand, etc etc

D -> E -> B
