     D          Bm               Em           A                 D  Dmaj7
If I called you once I must have called you a thousand times
       D6    A                         D
You’re never home, never, never, never home
      D      Bm               Em           A        D  Dmaj7
Every time I call your mother gives me the same old line
              E7                  A
It’s plain to see, you’re ducking me

Chorus

                 A
Am I gettin’ the    silent treatment
D                   A
  Silent treatment,   silent treatment
     D                             A
From you, gee, I hate this cold and   silent treatment
D                   A
  Silent treatment,   silent treatment
     D
From you, oo, say it ain’t true

Verse

           D     Bm       Em    A    Dmaj7
We used to be as close as pages in a book
                A                           D
Baby what’s the score; don’t you love me anymore
            D       Bm           Em     A       D
We’ve been apart so long I’ve forgotten how you look
           E7                A
I miss you so, please let me know
[Chorus] + coda
                 A
Am I gettin’ the    silent treatment
D                   A
  Silent treatment,   silent treatment
     D                             A
From you, gee, I hate this cold and   silent treatment
D                   A
  Silent treatment,   silent treatment
     D                             D
From you, oo, say it ain’t true
