B           E
I call you up
You pick up
B               E
You call my bluff
On the card to love
B               E
You hold too close
B               E
Your hands to your chest
B               E
I can read your eyes
But I confess
F#                  E
It's lonely far from you, oh

B               E
Even when you're right by me
F#          E
It's only why I wait for you
B               E
To take my hand

C#m                       F#m
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
C#m                       F#m
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
G#            G
Wherever you are
I swear
F#           E
You be my angel
You

I play my cards the best I can
But I lose my luck when you're not here
My darling heart
Won't you please give in?
I may be strong
But I want you back again
F#                     E
When you're not here it's hard to pretend
B               E
It's all alright again
F#                     E
When you're not here love it's hard to pretend
B               E
It's all alright but still

C#m                       F#m
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
C#m                       F#m
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
G#            G
Wherever you are
I swear
F#           E
You be my angel
You

B               E
Watch the deck
F#          E
Count your cards
B               E
Makes no sense
F#          E
That I'm always losing

When you're gone

C#m                       F#m
Why do I beg like a child for your candy?
C#m                       F#m
Why do I come after you like I do, I love you?
G#            G
Wherever you are
I swear
F#           E
You be my angel
You
