[Ab] [G] [Ab] [Bbm]
[Ab] [G] [Gb] [Bb]
[Db] [Ab] [Bbm]
[Ab] [Gb] [Fm] [Bb]
I can't tell you why these things continue [Fm] to happen to [Bbm] me
But some people [Ebm] get so jealous of [C] the smallest of all things
[Bbm] I tried to help some friends to help themselves to get their lives intact
They came out spreading [Gb] rumors, now [C] I have to come out spreading facts
Let me tell you how this started [Bbm] and where [F] it all began
[Bbm] I guess I was [Fm] a fool to try [Db] and help my broken special [Bbm] friends
They told me if I'd help them, they'd be in debt for life
But when I turned my back to get some, this family wound up not in love
[Ab] I don't need [Bbm] jealousy, I don't want the [Ebm] bad stuff around
[Db]
I don't need [Bb] [Db] [Bbm] jealousy, I don't [Gb] want the [Ab] bad stuff [Bb] around
Came out spreading rumors, because you [Db] were so jealous
You [Gb] didn't understand that [Bb] we were on your side, tell me [Eb] why not, fella?
[Bbm] You let some people guide you in the wrong direction
From the truth you [Ebm] cannot hide, so don't go look for [Bbm] no protection
I didn't understand it then, and you know I [Fm] just can't now
You know I tried to help you out, and now it's me you're trying to clown
[Bbm] But let me tell you, father, you won't come out ahead
All this [Db] jealousy will [Ebm] do is make you lose it, understand?
I [Dbm] don't need [Db] [Ab] jealousy, [Gb]
I don't want the bad stuff around
I [Db] don't need [Bbm] jealousy, I don't want the bad [F] stuff [Eb] [Db] around
Jealousy starts trouble, yapping all the time
You know they're [Ebm] listening for rumors, so that [Eb] they can [Bbm] drop a dime
They run from place to place, just telling half the story
Because it always [Ebm] turns you down, someone can take their fame and glory
[Bbm] If it hasn't happened [Ebm] to you, [Bbm] just give yourself some time
I think you [Db] know the [Gb] symptoms when a jealous person [Fm] drops a line
[Bbm] I think I'll write a letter that sums it up the best
I'll help you write it [Ebm] and make letters, my business, [Bb] please don't make it so bad
[Eb] I [Bb] don't need [Ab] [Db] jealousy, I don't want [Ab] the bad stuff [Ebm] around
I don't [Db] need [Bb] [Db] jealousy, I don't [Gb] want the bad stuff [Bb] around

I don't want the [Ab] bad [Db] stuff around
I don't need [Ab] jealousy, [Bbm]
[Ab] [Db] I don't [Gb] want the bad stuff [Db] around
I don't need, you don't need, [Ebm] we don't need [Bbm] no [Abm] jealousy
[Bbm]
[Fm] [Bbm] I don't need jealousy, [Ab] [Gb] [Db]
I don't want [Gb] the bad stuff around

[Fm] [E] the bad stuff around
