[Intro]
E  E/G#  A   A
 E  E/G#   A  C#m

[Verse 1]
    E                   E/G#
I'm used to being here by myself,
       A
 I'm working this out
E                 E/G#
Used to see her, now she's
             A     C#m
out there shaking us out

[Chorus]
A                       E
 And if you wanna play cards,
                 C#m
you better be careful
F#m                 A
 Small blind, big blind
                  E
I will stack the deck
                    C#m
'cause I know the dealer
B                    A
 Are we on the same side?
                E
You put up the hearts and I'll
          C#m    F#m
 put up both my aces
A               E
 Not very far apart,
           C#m       B
 still on different pages
  E     E/G#     A      E
E/G#       A         C#m
 Still on different pages

[Verse 2]
  E                   E/G#
Spill out everywhere, I can't
             A
 keep from falling apart
  E                   E/G#
Though I wanted you, my intent
        A           C#m
was flawed from the start

[Chorus]
A                       E
 And if you wanna play cards,
                 C#m
 you better be careful
F#m                 A
 Small blind, big blind
                  E
I will stack the deck
                    C#m
 'cause I know the dealer
B                    A
 Are we on the same side?
                E
You put up the hearts and
              C#m    F#m
I'll put up both my aces
A               E
 Not very far apart, still
     C#m       B
on different pages

[Outro]
  C#m                 B
Spill out everywhere, I can't
            A
keep from falling apart
  C#m                 B
Though I wanted you, my intent
        A
was flawed from the start
  C#m
Spill out everywhere,
  B                  A
 I can't keep from falling apart
  C#m
Spill out everywhere,
 B                  A
 I can't keep from falling

[End]
