[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Db5
   He smokes another cigarette
He's got the posture of an honest man
            Bbm7/Eb
And now he's       floating through my city
    Dbmaj7/F                     Gbsus2   Db5
Got some    quarters in his jeans      and   he knows he's
pretty
He's got the confidence for these type of things
        Bbm7/Eb
Somehow I      pulled him from the corner of a
Dbmaj7/F                 Gbsus2
bar     across the street

[Chorus]
Db5
   And while I'm shades of flattered at some good romance
and manners
Oh,
 Bbm7/Eb                             Dbmaj7/F
I       fear I'm doing better with no        hands to
       Gbsus2
comfort      me
     Db5
And I   say it doesn't matter
I pretеnd love's Chutes and Ladders
    Bbm7/Eb
I'll       prеtend love's Chutes and Ladders
         Dbmaj7/F              Gbsus2
'Til the game    stops playing me    

[Verse 2]
  Db5
He   smokes another cigarette
This time I'm watching from my lover's bed
     Bbm7/Eb
Where       spent a couple evenings
        Dbmaj7/F               Gbsus2
Though I        never get much sleep 
Db5
   And I can't help thinking is this moving all too quick
        Bbm7/Eb
I know I       swore I wouldn't stick around for
Dbmaj7/F                Gbsus2
more    than just a week

[Chorus]
   Db5
And   while I'm shades of flattered at some bedside table
banter
Oh,
 Bbm7/Eb                             Dbmaj7/F
I       fear I'm doing better with no        hands to
        Gbsus2
comfort me
     Db5
And I   say it doesn't matter
I pretеnd love's Chutes and Ladders
    Bbm7/Eb
I'll       prеtend love's Chutes and Ladders
         Dbmaj7/F              Gbsus2
'Til the game    stops playing me    

[Bridge]
   Bbm7/Eb                    Fm
And       he, he doesn't even notice it
        Bbm7/Eb                  Fm
That I'm       sinking in way too  deep
Gb5 Bbm7/Eb
           And he,
                Fm
he doesn't even keep it in
         Bbm7/Eb                       Fm
All those       promises we would never  keep

[Verse 3]
Db5
   He smokes another cigarette
This time I'm sitting right across from him
   Bbm7/Eb
At a      table, at a park
Dbmaj7/F                   Gbsus2
        Where we decide to meet  
Db5
   And now I'm choking
On the things I'll never say to him
         Bbm7/Eb
'Cause I know   he won't remember
        Dbmaj7/F           Gbsus2
All the things  he said to me    

[Chorus]
Db5
   And while I'm shades of flattered at some good romance
and manners
Oh,
 Bbm7/Eb                             Dbmaj7/F
I       fear I'm doing better with no        hands to
        Gbsus2
comfort me
     Db5
And I   say it doesn't matter
I pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
    Bbm7/Eb
I'll       pretend love's Chutes and Ladders
         Dbmaj7/F              Gbsus2
'Til the game    stops playing me    

[Outro]
  Db5               Bbm7/Eb  Dbmaj7/F Gbsus2
He   smokes another cigarette
Db5               Bbm7/Eb Dbmaj7/F Gbsus2
   And I'm on fire
Db5        Bbm7/Eb Dbmaj7/F
I'm on fire
Gbsus2 Db5       Bbm7/Eb Dbmaj7/F Gbsus2
I'm       on fire
Db5                  Bbm7/Eb  Dbmaj7/F
   He smokes another cigarette
Gbsus2 Db5       Bbm7/Eb Dbmaj7/F
And I'm   on fire
Gbsus2 Db5       Bbm7/Eb Dbmaj7/F
I'm       on fire
Gbsus2 Db5
I'm       on fire
