                      G 
Well now, just because you think you're so pretty,   
                                                  D7 
Just because you think you're so hot,   
  
Just because you think you've got something 
                                  G 
That nobody else has got, 
  
        G 
Though you made me spend all my money, 
                                            G7                C 
You laughed and called me old Santa Claus, 
                        G                 E7 
But I'm tellin' you, honey, I'm through with you 
            A7      D7       G 
Because, just because. 

(Instrumental break) 
  
              G 
Just because you think I’ll be lonesome,  
                                                 D7 
Just because you think I'll be blue, 
  
Just because you think I’ll be foolish  
                                                    G 
To stay around at home and wait for you. 
  
           G 
Though you made me drop all my boyfriends,  
                                         G7               C 
You laughed and call me old Santa Claus, 
                             G                E7 
Well, I'm telling you, honey. I'm through with you  
         A7     D7     G 
Because just because. 

           G 
Though you made me spend all my money 
                                            G7               C 
You laughed and called me old Santa Claus, 
                         G                E7 
But I'm tellin' you, honey, I'm through with you 
          A7      D7       G 
Because, just because.
