Strange voice on the telephone

Telling me I~d better leave you alone

Why don~t somebody say what~s going on?

Uh oh, I think I~ve been through this before

A

Looks like I~ve been fooled again

G

Looks like I~ve been fooled again

(intro & verse chords)

I don~t like it

I don~t like it

You never said you had known, known me too

I need to know about it, if you do

If two is one, I might as well be three

It~s good to see you think so much of me

A

Looks like I~ve been fooled again

G

Looks like I~ve been fooled again

(intro & verse chords)

I don~t like it

I don~t like it

Intro and Verse chords again

You never said you had known, known me too

I need to know about it, if you do

If two is one, I might as well be three

It~s good to see you think so much of me

A

Looks like I~ve been fooled again

G

Looks like I~ve been fooled again

(intro & verse chords)

I don~t like it

I don~t like it

The solo appears again after this and the song fades out with Petty screaming

and the intro and verse chords going.
