we are using a capo on fret six. Just play the chords
as written, and you should okay.)

[INTRO]
[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]There's nothing that that boy won't [D7]do, when it comes to you. [E7]
[E7]Chameleon, you know that it's wrong,
But it's fun to have someone you can pull along.
[A7]The way you treat that boy ain't fa[D7]ir, but he don't care. [E7]
What does it [A7]mean if you know you don't mean it? [E7]
What does it [A7]say if you got nothing to say? [B7]
[CHORUS]
He's just your [E7]silly little thing, hangin' on a string,
Waitin' by the phone, prayin' it'll ring. [A7]
You know it ain't right. [E7]
'Cause you ain't never gonna do what he wants to,
Kneelin' by the bed, prayin' it's true. [A7]
You know it ain't right. [E7]
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?
He'll [A7]follow you wherever you [D7]go, and I know you know. [E7]
What does it [A7]mean if you know you don't mean it? [E7]
What does it [A7]say if you got nothing to say? [B7]
[CHORUS]
He's just your [E7]silly little thing, hangin' on a string,
Waitin' by the phone, prayin' it'll ring. [A7]
You know it ain't right. [E7]
'Cause you ain't never gonna do what he wants to,
Kneelin' by the bed, prayin' it's true. [A7]
You know it ain't right. [E7]
[BRIDGE]
[D7] You ain't gotta tell[A7] me, he fell too [E7]fast.
[D7] But won't you just tell[A7] him that it ain't gonna [B7]last?
Oh, no, it ain't gonna last.
[E7] [A7] [E7] [E7] [A7] [E7]
What does it [A7]mean if you know you don't mean it? [E7]
What does it [A7]say if you got nothing to say? [B7]
[CHORUS]
He's just your [E7]silly little thing, hangin' on a string,
Waitin' by the phone, prayin' it'll ring. [A7]
You know it ain't right. [E7]
'Cause you ain't never gonna do what he wants to,
Kneelin' by the bed, prayin' it's true. [A7]
You know it ain't right. [E7]
You know it ain't right.
