[C] You gave away ano[Am]ther round for fre[Bm7-5]e W[E7]hoa...
[Am9]Me, I'm just another f[F9]ace at Zanzibar
But the [Am9]waitress always serves a secret sm[Bbmaj7]ile Whoa...

[E7]She's gonna pull the [Am]curtains down for [Bm7-5]me, [G] for m[C]e

But the [Am9]Yankees grab the headlines every [Bbmaj7]time

[C] In black and white for [Am]everyone to [Bm7-5]see [E7]whoa
[Am9]Me, I'm trying just to [F9]get to second base
And I'd [Am9]steal it if she only gave the [Bbmaj7]sign whoa

[E7] The inning isn't [Am]over yet for m[Bm7-5]e, [G] for [C]me
