You gave me your ace card, I gave you my time
C G Am Em
On confusion I'd stash it with mine

You keep on calling, I won't give anymore

You held out your greasy hand, it slipped away
C G Am Em
Could have cried, could have saved you this time

But if there is someone
G

D
Point out that someone
Em
Who thinks I like I see
C
If there is someone
