[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
On the day we met
G
Here's what you said
Am F
Life is a nonstop carnival ride
C
Your silver tongue
G
could cut your own throat
Am F
And leave me a freak show on the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Am
And I kick myself
F G
Cause why did I stick around this long?
[Chorus]
C
You ain’t nothing but a pitchman
F
You ain’t nothing but a talker
Am G
selling snake oil made from holy water
C F
[Verse 2]
C
I ain’t saying you lied
G
just that I believed you
Am F
You know the two aren’t always the same
C
I was your fall girl
G
a rope net to receive you
Am F
with your sweet-talking skywalk to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
C G Am
And I kick myself
F G
Cause why did I stick around this long?
[Chorus]
C
You ain’t nothing but a pitchman
F
You ain’t nothing but a talker
Am G
selling snake oil made from holy water
F
[Bridge]
C
And you pay your coin
F
And you take your change
Am G
but you took a silver dollar for a dime romance
[Chorus]
C
You ain’t nothing but a pitchman
F
You ain’t nothing but a talker
Am G
selling snake oil made from holy water
[Chorus]
C
You're a pitchman (And I kick myself)
F
You ain’t nothing but a talker
Am G
selling snake oil made from holy water (Why did I stick around this long?)
[Chorus]
C
You ain’t nothing but a pitchman
F
You ain’t nothing but a talker
Am G
selling snake oil made from holy water
[Outro]
