Start Jamming...
She [A] said, Duck, why do you do the things [D] you do?
All [E] your scarves are all the same, you leave all the ladies [A] blue.
[D] [A]
And this may be the last song [D] I'll ever write for you,
[E] You ask for real, I was only playing [A] games.
[D] The kind of games that only [A] lovers play,
The kind of games that no one cares who are what gets in [E] the way.
As [Bm]
[A] I sit here with loneliness,
[D] weighing all the shame,
[E] You ask for real, [D#] [E]
[C#m] I was [E] only playing [A] games.
Make you cry, Johnny.
