Playing the [G]game,
but [F]not the way [G]the big boys played
[F]Nothing to [G]lose,
may[F]be I had [G]something [C]to trade[Bb][C]
[Eb]The way the big [C]wheel spin[Bb]s[C]
[Eb]Well, I was

[G]gon[F]e without a b[G]ackward gla[F]nce
Going [G]for broke,
go[F]ing for another [G]chance
[F]Hoping for heav[G]en,
hop[F]ing for a fine [G]romance[C][Bb][C][Eb]
If I do [C]the right [Bb]dance
[C][Bb][F]
