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
Cadd9D
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
Em7DCadd9
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
Cadd9D
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
Em7DCadd9
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
Cadd9D
See that was my oldest game. Darling, it was my claim to fame
