Verse 1:
B E
I call you up, you pick up
B E
You call my bluff on the card tonight
B E
You hold too close, your hands to your chest
B E
I can read your eyes, but I confess
F# E
It's lonely far from you, oh
B E
Even when you're right by me
F# E B
It's only why I wait for you
(B) E
To take my hand
Chorus:
Ab F#m
Why do I beg like a child for your candy
Ab F#m
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you
Ab G F#m E B
Whate'er you are, I swear, you'll be my angel

Verse 2:
B E
I play my cards as best I can
B E
But I lose my luck when you're not here
B E
My darling-heart, won't you please give in
B E
I may be strong, but I want you back again.
F# E
When you're not here, oh, it's hard to pretend
B E
It's all all right again
F# E
When you're not here, love, it's hard to pretend
B E
It's all all right, still
Chorus:
Ab F#m
Why do I beg like a child for your candy
Ab F#m
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you
Ab G F#m E B
Whate'er you are, I swear, you'll be my angel
Bridge:
B E
You watch the deck, count your cards
B E
Makes no sense that I'm always losin'
