C F
Play me like a player piano
Am
roll me from the corners
F
of your dark and dusty shadows
C F
Like a player piano,
Am
I sit useless
F
most of the time
G Am
The bar gets darker
F
it swallows up the scarlet
The barkeep's looking thin
G Am
We sit together
F
until only the piano
of the player remains (C, F, Am, F)
C
Tell me why you won't keep it
C
Tie me up in a shoe-string box
F
She don't keep it if
F
she don't need it
C F
Get me out of the deep end
Am F
my legs are dangling over the roof
G Am
The room gets brighter
F
when I can see inside her
when I can turn the switch
G Am
But she's so together
F
I can do the damage and
she can manage the flames (C, F, Am, F) x2
