G riff
It was Texas it was Tennessee
Cadd9 Riff
It was what I had coming to me
Em7 Riff
You were unlike anything before
Cadd9 Riff
Black magic devil killer, I was yours


G riff
It was the early days of rock and roll
Cadd9 Riff
It was Otis it was Memphis soul
Em7 Riff
It was a plane crash it was overnight
Cadd9 Riff
It was burning fast and burning bright


                G
Baby, don't you talk no more. That look is loud enough
                  Em7
You don't have to tell me how it feels not to be in love
                Cadd9                           D
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
      Em7                             D                                   Cadd9
And I knew it when I met you all that you would need was more than what I got
                        G
Oh, so baby please just stop


G riff
It was Texas it was Tennessee
Cadd9 Riff
It was exes and some wanna-be-s
Em7 Riff
It was reckless it was understood
Cadd9 Riff
It didn't matter 'cause it felt so good


G riff
And I'll still be here if you change your mind
Cadd9 Riff
But I can see the leaving in your eyes
Em7 Riff
Don't want to hear it 'cause I know it well
Cadd9 Riff
I've said it all before to someone else



                G
Baby, don't you talk no more. That look is loud enough
                  Em7
You don't have to tell me how it feels not to be in love
                Cadd9                           D
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
      Em7                             D                                   Cadd9
And I knew it when I met you all that you would need was more than what I got
                        G
Oh, so baby please just stop


G riff
It was Texas it was Tennessee
Cadd9 Riff
A kind of love close akin to grief
Em7 Riff
It was everything that I could want
Cadd9 Riff
California came and took it all



                G
Baby, don't you talk no more. That look is loud enough
                  Em7
You don't have to tell me how it feels not to be in love
                Cadd9                           D
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
      Em7                             D                                   Cadd9
And I knew it when I met you all that you would need was more than what I got
                        G
Oh, so baby please just stop
