Here's the chords/lyrics to "Baby Plays Around" from Elvis Costello's
"Spike" album. Someone requested this a while back but it's taken me
a while to get around to typing it in.

It's in CHORD format, ie run it through the CHORD program that was
recently posted and you get a nice postscript songsheet.

AIt's not A7open D  to discussion anyDsusmore,
AShe's outB/D# again tonight, E  And I'm aC#m7lone once more,
DShe's all I Bm7have Bm7-5worth C#m7 waiting F#mfor,
but B/D#baby plays ABm7round. E
AAnd so it A/Gseems I've always D/F#been the last to Dm/Fknow,
ATo hold B/D#on to that girl, E  I had to C#m7let her go.
D/F#  I wish to Dm/F God I C#m7didn't love her F#mso,
B/D#  'Cause E11baby plays AAround.

A/GI try to be D/F#strong, A7/E hold on to my Dpride.C#m7-5
Em7 She doesn't A7even know it's Dwrong,
how much I D#^ohurt inside.F^o
And heaven knows I've tried but F#m
baBm7by plays aDmround, just a Esusplay thing.F^o
Its hard to reconcile the facts I'm E7facing.

AIt's not A7open D  to discussion anyDsusmore,
AShe walk'sB/D# those shiny streets, E  I walk the C#m7worn out floor.
DShe's all I Bm7have Bm7-5worth C#m7 living F#mfor,
