Text File

C             F     G        C
You're gonna say I told you so
C         F          G       C 
I never should have let you go
C          F          G       C
Ain't it funny that here we are
     F             G            C
The two of us in two different bars

C            F      G      C
In separate cages dancing slow
C             F         G        C
We ain't got nobody to call our own
C          F    G        C
You can always go back home
            F        G         C
Well, you just might be there alone

G                       
I'm drunk and you're insane
C
I can't quit and you won't change
D7
Ain't no halfhearted romeo
G
Why do you treat me so?

                   F
Like our love's a joke
                    C
It hurts too much to laugh
                 G
Can't you least smile
                   C
When you call me that

C               F          G          C
Now, days are harder than you would believe
C                F    G           C
I ain't having luck making ends meet
C              F          G      C
If time were money then look at me
      F             G              C
I'm richer than a poor man should be

G                                
Price of admission is much too steep
C
For broke uneducated clowns like me
D7
It may be true I was the first to leave
G
But now I'm begging you please

                   F
My heart's on my sleeve
                    C
And I'm tipping my hat
                    G
Can't you at least smile
                  C     C7 
When you call me that

                              F
Not much is certain but this much is true
                             C
My arms are useless if they don't have you
                           F
They hang around me with nothing to do
                               G
I'm hoping you and yours are lonesome too

C         F          G     C
Neon's buzzing and here I am
C          F         G         C   
Last one standing, last call again
C               F               G        C
While you're unfolding in a stranger's hands
       F               G         C
I'll drink up and be somebody's man

G
Angels can walk I've seen it before
C
They turn handles and they open doors
D7
They act like devils, now you've been warned
G
They'll vanish when love is war

                 F
I'm down on my knees
                       C
And you won't have me back
                      G
But can't you at least smile
                  C
When you call me that
