Verse 1:
   F               Bb                  F     Bb F
That call was from the office and I guess I'll have to burn the midnight oil again
  F                                 C   C7
And honey, you know how much the boss depends on me to lend a helping hand
 F              Bb                F      Bb F
I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll be
     F          C                  F N.C.  F#
While I'm puttin' on my makeup
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me

  F#                B                 F#      B F#
The girls all got together, and they called to see if I could have some fun tonight
  F#                            C# C#7
But you know me, the only thing I do is go to work and watch TV
   F#              B                 F#      B F#
And I watch him in the mirror as I lie and tell him I don't know how late I'll be
     F#          C#                  F# N.C.  F#
While I'm puttin' on my makeup
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me


Bridge:
            B             F#
And tonight I'll cheat again and tomorrow I'll be sorry
  F#                              C#   C#7
And I'll feel kind of dirty 'cause I'll have the midnight oil all over me
  F#                 B                F#      B F#
God knows his dream would shatter if he knew the devil had me and won't set me free
     F#          C#                  F#
While I'm puttin' on my makeup
I'm puttin' on the one that really loves me
