[C] Hey b[C]aby, t[Fmaj7]ell me what we're [Fmaj7]gonna d[G]o[G] [G] [G]

[C] It's [C]getting cr[Fmaj7]azy and I ne[Fmaj7]ed some help from y[G]ou[G] [G] [G]

[C]We [C]were so conn[F]ected that [F]you were a p[G]art of [G]me[G] [G]

[C]Now [C]I feel an e[F]mptiness [F]right to the h[G]eart of [G]me[G] [G]

But [Am]you pre[G/B]tend and [C]I prete[C]nd that [F]every[C/E]thing is f[G]ine[G]

And [Am]though we [G/B]should be [C]at an e[F]nd

It's [Am]so hard ad[F]mittin' whe[2/4]n it's[G] quittin' time

Hey baby, I'm running out of things to say (C C FM7 FM7 G G G G)

Please don't hate me, this feeling just won't go away (C C FM7 FM7 G G G G)

Now we're spending all our time caught in a fantasy (C C F F G G G G)

Just trying to keep in mind the way it used to be (C C F F G G G G)

(Chorus)

(Guitar solo, same chords as chorus)

(Repeat second verse)

But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine (Am G C C F C G G)

And though we should be at an end (Am G C F)

It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin' time (Am F G C)

But you pretend and I pretend that everything is fine (Am G C C F C G G)

And though we should be at an end (Am G C F)

It's so hard admittin' when it's quittin'... (Am F G)

(So hard admittin' when it's quittin'...) (Am F G)

So hard admittin' when it's quittin' time (Am F G C)

 #QUITTIN' TIME

 # Okay, a couple notes about this song. First of all, the electric guitar
 #plays this song in D, and Mary-Chapin plays the acoustic guitar in C, capoed
 #up two frets (as I've written it here).
 # Don't worry too much about the bass notes in the chorus; they were just
 #so obvious I had to put them in.
 # The little riff at the end of the C Fmaj7 G G lines (after "tell me what
 #we're gonna do") is just Gsus4-Gsus4-G, Gsus4-Gsus4-G. Finger G as 320003,
 #and use your index finger to do the first fret on the B string. (Of course,
 #it's Asus4-Asus4-A if you play it in D.)
 # Each chord is half a measure. Capo 2.
 #
 # One more thing: in her 1994 Acoustic Tour, MCC performed a slowed-down
 #version of this song. The chords were pretty much the same, but it was
 #finger-picked instead of strummed, and there was an E or E7 chord between
 #the G and Am, right before "But you pretend..." Try it.
