Bm  Am  G  Bm  Em

[Verse 1]
                  Em
Just because I say love you now
                    Am
Just because I say I care for you
                       Am
Don't you take me for a fool now, baby
                        G        C
Don't you play your game with me, girl
        D             Em
You make me the one to lose

[Verse 2]
                      Em
I won't gamble with this life of mine
                            Am
Got all the pain and I can't use it
                       Am
I don't need someone to bring me down
                                   Em
I've done my time, I'm through with you

[Chorus]
G                  D
There'll come time, you'll sit alone
G               C                Am
And wonder where your daddy's gone
       G                  C
But the days will pass and change
      G           C
And my yesterday opens
        G                 C               Am
Will not hold the life for slave within my soul
        C                                  Em
Oh, it's so strange to watch your love grow cold

[Verse 3]
                  Em
Just because I say love you now
                    Am
Just because I say I care for you
                       Am
Don't you take me for a fool now, baby
                        G        C
Don't you play your game with me, girl
        D             Em
You make me the one to lose
D                     Em          D  Em
You make me the one to lose, yeah
