Pawn Takes Rook

Bm                     G         A          Bm  G A
Friday night, dressed up in your Sunday’s best
Bm                      G      A      Bm  G A
You stopped asking if I got there yet
Bm                           G    A      Bm  G
I've thought up every way to tell you “no.”
    A          Bm             G
And why you shouldn't go alone
             Bm              G A
And why I shouldn't go alone

Bm               G    A        Bm
You were so much better than me:
             G         A              Bm
Polite and right and some straight teeth
                       G          A              Bm                  G A
Find someone that will make you love yourself as much as I loved you


[Chorus]
D
It's a goddamn shame that you ever changed your name
        A                                   G
I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played me like a crook
        D
I never wanted it to end this way


[Verse 2]
Bm                 G              A
You wanted some change and you changed what you want:
Bm
“Tall, dark, and handsome…”
    G         A
I am being blunt
          Bm                           G
Bound and gagged and hands were cuffed
        A              Bm               G A
Now you only call when things get rough

Bm               G    A        Bm
You were so much better than me:
             G            A             Bm
Polite and right and some straight teeth
                           G          A              Bm                  G A
Find you someone that will make you love yourself as much as I loved you


[Chorus]
A              G              D
It's a goddamn shame that you ever changed your name
        A                                   G
I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played me like a crook
        D
I never wanted it to end this way
D
It's a goddamn, it's a goddamn
          A                                 G
I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played me like a crook
        D
I never wanted it to end this way


[Bridge]
Bm                                        D
I told you how you're wrong, I kept it clean
Bm                                        D
The coffee table talks and a blank TV screen
Bm                                 D
And I preached life and what it means
                     Bm
How I'm a terrible man
                       D
It's ingrained in my genes and it doesn't mean shit to me…


[Chorus]
D
It's a goddamn, it's a goddamn
          A                                 G
I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played me like a crook
        D
I never wanted it to end this way
D       G       D
 It's a goddamn shame
          A                                 G
I'm the pawn and you're the rook and you played me like a crook
        D
I never wanted it to end this way

Bm                     G         A          Bm  G A
Friday night, dressed up in your Sunday’s best
Bm                      G      A
You stopped asking if I got there yet
