A        D9    E7   A        D9 
You call everybody Darlin',  
E7  A   Cdim   A       Edim      E7 
And everybody calls you Darlin' too; 
E7        Fdim       Bm5-/7         E7   
You don't mean  what you're sayin',  
     A           D9      E7      A 
It's just a game you're playin', 
     B7         F#m           B7        F#m 
But you'll find someone else can play  
    E7            Fdim     E7 
The game as well as you. 
   A        D9    E7   A        D9 
If you call everybody Darlin',  
E7         A        A7          Gdim         A7       D 
Then love won't come a-knockin' at your door; 
   Dm7+             Dm6 
And as the years go by,  
       A      C#5-/7  F#7 
You'll sit and wonder why 
  B7              Bm5-/7     E7       A 
Nobody calls you Darlin' anymore
