Chutes And Ladders

C Am F 4x C He smokes another cigarette He's got the posture of an honest man Am And now he's floating Through my city Em F Got some quarters In his jeans C And he knows he's pretty C He's got the confidence For these type of things Am Somehow I pulled him From the corner Em F Of a bar across the street C And while I'm shades of flattered At some good romance and manners Am Oh I fear I'm doing better Em F With no hands to comfort me C And I say it doesn't matter I pretend love's chutes and ladders Am I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders Em F 'till the game stops playing me C He smokes another cigarette C This time I'm watching From my lover's bed Dm Where spent a couple evenings Em F Though I never get much sleep C And I can't help thinking Is this moving all too quick Dm I know I swore I wouldn't stick around Em F G For more than just a week... C And while I'm shades of flattered At some bedside table banter Dm Oh I fear I'm doing better Em F With no hands to comfort me C And I say it doesn't matter I pretend love's chutes and ladders Dm I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders Em F 'till the game stops playIng me Dm Em And he, he doesn't even notice It Dm Em That I'm sInkIng In way too deep Dm Em And he, he doesn't even keep It In Dm Em F All those promises we would never keep... C He smokes another cigarette This time I'm sittIng right across from hIm Dm At a table, at a park Em F G Where we decide to meet... C And now I'm choking On the things I'll never say to him Dm 'cause I know he won't remember Em F All the things he said to me C And whIle I'm shades of flattered At some good romance and manners Dm Oh I fear I'm doing better Em F With no hands to comfort me C And I say it doesn't matter I pretend love's chutes and ladders Dm I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders Em F 'till the game stops playIng me C He smokes another cigarette And I'm on fire C I'm on fire I'm on fire C ..He smokes another cigarette And I'm on fire C I'm on fire C I'm on fire
