Cheating At Solitaire

        Ab                       Db         Ab
You can lie to yourself, you can lie to the world
        Ab                 Eb        Ab
You can lie to the one you call your girl
        Ab                     Db              Ab
You can humble yourself to the hearts that you stole
          Ab                        Eb       Ab
Wondering who's gonna love you when you grow old

       Fm                       Db
With a fistful of courage and a heart full of rage
  Ab                    Eb
I realized I'd locked myself in a cage
            Fm                         Db
I'll be the one standing there with my watery eyes
            Ab                 Eb                      Ab
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why...asking why

Continues after the ad
When I got to the end of my dirty rainbow
and I found that there was no pot of gold
Well, I learned that I was empty and not quite as strong
for I had robbed my heart and cheated my soul

Look for the one with the watery eyes
I'll be the fool in the mirror asking you why
Cursing lovers in a warm tender embrace
Scoffing at the world and the whole human race

You can run, you can hide
You can feed your foolish pride
You can use and abuse
In the end you'll always lose...at the game

(solo)

You can run, you can hide
You can feed your foolish pride
with the hearts that you stole
and an empty pot of gold
and the lover's warm embrace
and the whole damned human race
You can use and abuse
in the end you'll always lose...at the game

      Ab                Db  Ab
For I cheated myself at solitaire
