Verse 1
F
And the tennis court was covered up
C
With some tent-like thing
G
And you asked me to dance
F
But I said, “Dancing is a dangerous game”
C
Oh, I thought
G
This is gonna be one of those things
F
Now I know
C
I’m never gonna love a-gain
Chorus
G
I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve
F
Takes one to know one
C
You’re a cowboy like me
G
Perched in the dark
F C
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
G
Like it could be love
F
I could be the way forward
C
Only if they pay for it
G
You’re a bandit like me
F
Eyes full of stars
C
Hustling for the good life
G
Never thought I’d meet you here
F
It could be love
C
We could be the way forward
G
And I know I’ll pay for it
Verse 2
F
And you’re a bandit like me
C
Eyes full of stars
G
Hustling for the good life
F
Never thought I’d meet you here
C
And you slipped a note underneath my door
G
With the news of the war
F C
The stories of the lives you tore
G
Oh, you’re a cowboy like me
Chorus
G
I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve
F
Takes one to know one
C
You’re a cowboy like me
G
Perched in the dark
F C
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
G
Like it could be love
F
I could be the way forward
C
Only if they pay for it
G
You’re a bandit like me
F
Eyes full of stars
C
Hustling for the good life
G
Never thought I’d meet you here
F
It could be love
C
We could be the way forward
G
And I know I’ll pay for it
Bridge
F
And the skeletons in both our closets
C G
Plotted hard to fuck this up
F
And the old men that I’ve swindled
C G
Really did be-lieve I was the one
F C
And the ladies lunching have their stories about
G
When you passed through town
F
But that was all before I locked it down
Chorus
Now you hang from my lips
F
Like the Gardens of Babylon
C
With your boots beneath my bed
G
Forever is the sweetest con
G
I’ve had some tricks up my sleeve
F
Takes one to know one
C
You’re a cowboy like me
G
Perched in the dark
F C
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
G
Like it could be love
F
I could be the way forward

I’m never gonna love a-gain
