[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/barenaked_ladies/thanks_that_was_fun_tab.html ]
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
Did I scare you?
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
When I dared you
Em7 Cm9 B7 Esus
I stared you in the eye
Am D
And told you goodbye
Em7 Cm9 Dsus Gadd9
You mocked me

It shocked me

When you walked me to the bus

Don't forget, no regrets

Except maybe one

Made a deal, not to feel
Am
God that's dumb
BRIDGE
------
G Em7 Dsus Gadd9
Everybody knows the deal fell through
G Em7 Dsus Gadd9
I was hoping I could just blame you
G Em7 Dsus Gadd9
When was it that I became so soft?
G Cadd9
This sentimentality doesn't look good on me
G Cadd9
I thought that you would be begging to be with me
G Cadd9
But I'm the one on my knees, blubbering
B7 Esus
Please let me stay
(Slience)
Deflated
And jaded
Esus
I hate it when you call
Am D
Which isn't at all

Except maybe one

Made a deal, not to feel

God that was dumb

Don't forget, no regrets
Am D
Except maybe one
G Cm9 Em7
Made a deal not to feel
Am D
Thanks, that was fun
