It's me again: you're worthless friend or foe

  D   D7           Gmaj7 A7 / A7* x3        Dmaj7

I somehow let that lovely creature down, horsin' around,  horsin' around

2.    Cmaj7   Gmaj7   C7

Some things we check and double check and lose

D           D7          Gmaj7A7 / A7* x3Dmaj7

I guess I let that little vow get lost, forgettin' the cost, forgettin' the cost

BbA7 / A7*

Quick to forgive and so slow to blame

Cmaj7        A7 / A7*        Dmaj7

The very thought fills me with shame

(but that didn't stop it happenin')

The thrill of it-can I call it that?-was cheap

And feeling cheap's the only thing you keep

Horsin' around's a serious business

GCmaj9

The last thing you'd want's somebody to witness

I was the fool who'd always presumed that

I'd wear the shoes and you'd be the doormat

You wonder why my hand's are still shakin'?

In need of a cry?  These shoulders are taken.

Gmaj  A etc.

I deserve to be kicked so badly

You deserve more than I sold you for. . .

4.[same as 3 above]

The moral is, whatever elseyou learn:

You shouldn't let that lovely creature down.

Lord just blind me, don't let her innocent eyes remind me.
