Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (C major) (D major) (G major) Me and my sweetheart Thelma
had been dating for so long
that we started getting bored. (E minor)
Some of that old fire was gone
and (C major) I decided I was going to fix it.
What I needed was a plan
to shake things up
and (G major) get them old juices (C major) flow
ing again. (D major) (C major) (G major)
Then I got to watching this TV soap,
a show about this guy (E minor) that
got bored with his lover,
so one day (G major) he just told (C major) her goodbye.
(E minor) His plan (C major) was to leave
and go away for a (G major) while
and (C major) let her sit there all alone
(E minor) so (A minor) that she (C major) could see
(G major) how lonely she'd be
when she saw that he
was gone. (E minor) (G major)
(Edim) Well it left her devast (E minor) ated
but it worked like (Edim) a charm
(Gdim) be cause she (G major) walked the floor
and longed once more
to take him (Gdim) in her arms
and
That (B flat minor) cli max was something I
couldn't wait to (C sharpdim) see.
Then, (G major) they come and repossess
my TV. know?
(C major) (G major)
Verse 2
But I (C major) already knew what
old Jerry was gonna do.
(G major) So (C major) we (E minor) were sittin' there alone
(D major) one night on (G major) Thelma's Dalvinette
when I (E minor) told her good -bye.
And I'll never forget.
She cried and screamed
an (C major) d pitched a fit.
It was plain to (G major) see
that (C major) she (D major) couldn't bear the
thought of losing me.
Then, when I got (G major) home, my brother Hank said,
What is going on?
(E minor) He told me that Thelma called
just squalling on the phone.
I said, Well, (C major) it's simple, Hank.
I think you'll understand.
You see, tonight I (D major) brought
our romance to an end.
Then I just (G major) let her stew for a week or two,
and I knew it was tough.
Then (E minor) I decided I'd let poor
Thelma suffer long enough
So I (C major) called to tell her
that she could finally quit crying to blues
An (D major) d her code (C major) of phone said she
was gone on (D major) a Caribbean cruise (G major)
(C major) If it ain't broke,
you better believe it ain't long
(G major) Don't try to fix it,
cause you might fix it wrong
(C major) Instead of fooling with it,
sometimes it's best
Not (A major) to mess with things,
you might get (D major) things all (C major) in a mess
(D major) Why (G major) waste time puttin'
your mind all (C major) in a bind?
If it's (C sharpdim) workin' fine, then fine (G major)
(C major) If (D major) it ain't broke, don't (G major) fix it
Hit this, son! (C major) (G major) (C major) Awesome!
on! (A major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(C major) Well, (D major) then (G major) I decided I'd go see
Thelma one (C major) night after (G major) work.
(E minor) Tell her I was sorry
that I acted like such a jerk. (C major)
Then I was gonna ask her
if she would be my wife.
(D major) But friends, when I walked in,
I got the shock of my life.
(G major) There she sat on the davenit
hugging my brother Hank.
I (E minor) said, Thelma,
I don't know what to think.
She (C major) said, well, it's really simple, Jerry.
I think you'll understand, you see. (D major)
(G major) One day (C major) you walked out on me
and I (D major) just walked right in. (G major)
(C major) If it ain't broke,
it's better to leave it alone.
Thelma!
(G major) Don't try to fix it,
cause you might Thelma!
(C major) Instead of fooling with it, it's
It might be best not (A major) to mess with things.
You might get (D major) things wrong, it ain't best.
Why (G major) waste time puttin'
your mind (C major) all in a bind
if it's (C sharpdim) workin' fine and fine? (G major)
If (D major) it ain't broke, then brother,
(G major) don't (E minor) fix it.
If it ain't broke, (C major)
just (D major) leave it ain't alone. (G major) (C sharpdim) (C major) (D major) (G major)
