Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dm               G                   C
  And the tennis court was covered up
                   F
With some tentlike thing
Dm                    G
  And you asked me to dance
But I said,
C                       F
"Dancin' is a dangerous game"
Dm     G
  Oh, I thought
        C                     F
This is gonna be one of those things
Dm     G
  Now I know
    C                     F
I'm never gonna love again

[Chorus]
F        C           F     G      F
 I've got some tricks up my sleeve
         C        F
Takes one to know one
G                    Dm
 You're a cowboy like  me

[Verse 2]
G                 C
 Never wanted love
                F
Just a fancy car
Dm                G
  Now I'm waiting by the phone
         C                     F
Like I'm sitting in an airport bar

[Chorus]
F       C           F       G      F
 You had some tricks up your sleeve
         C        F
Takes one to know one
G                     C
 You're a cowboy like me

[Post-Chorus]
               F
Perched in the dark
                G                        C
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
                 C
Like it could be love
               F
I could be the way forward
             G
Only if they pay for it
C
 You're a bandit like me
             F
Eyes full of stars
                 G
Hustling for the good life
                  C
Never thought I'd meet you here
It could be love
                F
We could be the way forward
                G         C
And I know I'll pay for it

 Perched in the dark
                G                        C
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
               F
I could be the way forward
             G
Only if they pay for it
C
 You're a bandit like me
             F
Eyes full of stars
                 G
Hustling for the good life
                  C
Never thought I'd meet you here
It could be love
                F
We could be the way forward
                G         C
And I know I'll pay for it

[Bridge]
Am             Em               G
  And the skeletons in both our closets
        D                 Am
Plotted hard to fuck this up
                Em
And the old men that I've swindled
G            D               Am
Really did believe I was the one
               Em                  G
And the ladies lunching have their stories about
D                       Am
When you passed through town
             Em           G         D
But that was all before I locked it down

[Verse 3]
Dm             G
  Now you hang from my lips
         C                 F
Like the Gardens of Babylon
Dm                  G
  With your boots beneath my bed
  C                     F
Forever is the sweetest con

[Chorus]
F        C           F     G      F
 I've had some tricks up my sleeve
         C        F
Takes one to know one
G                    C
 You're a cowboy like me

[Outro]
F        G                     C
 And I'm never gonna love again
F    G                     C
 I'm never gonna love again
F    G C
 Mmm ,  mmm
F    G
 I'm never gonna love again
