Chutes And Ladders

• Intro

Intro
C   Am   F x4

Verse 1
C
He smokes another cigarette

He's got the posture of an honest man
               Am
And now he's floating

Through my city
          Em               F
Got some quarters In his jeans
    C
And he knows he's pretty
               C
He's got the confidence

For these type of things
       Am
Somehow I pulled him

From the corner
     Em                F
Of a bar across the street

Pre-Chorus
C
And while I'm shades of flattered

At some good romance and manners
      Am
Oh I fear I'm doing better
         Em               F
With no hands to comfort me


     C
And I say it doesn't matter

I pretend love's chutes and ladders
      Am
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
           Em                 F
'till the game stops playing me

Verse 2
     C
He smokes another cigarette
               C
This time I'm watching

From my lover's bed
       Dm
Where spent a couple evenings
      Em                  F
Though I never get much sleep
    C
And I can't help thinking

Is this moving all too quick
          Dm
I know I swore I wouldn't stick around
     Em                F   G
For more than just a week...

Pre-Chorus
      C
And while I'm shades of flattered

At some bedside table banter
      Dm
Oh I fear I'm doing better
         Em               F
With no hands to comfort me


    C
And I say it doesn't matter

I pretend love's chutes and ladders
      Dm
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
           Em                F
'till the game stops playIng me

Bridge
    Dm                   Em
And he, he doesn't even notice It
          Dm                 Em
That I'm sInkIng In way too deep
Dm                         Em
And he, he doesn't even keep It In
            Dm                     Em   F
All those promises we would never keep...

Verse 3
C
He smokes another cigarette

This time I'm sittIng right across from hIm
      Dm
At a table, at a park
Em                     F   G
Where we decide to meet...
C
And now I'm choking

On the things I'll never say to him
          Dm
'cause I know he won't remember
          Em               F
All the things he said to me

Pre-Chorus
C
And whIle I'm shades of flattered

At some good romance and manners
   Dm
Oh I fear I'm doing better
         Em               F
With no hands to comfort me


    C
And I say it doesn't matter

I pretend love's chutes and ladders
      Dm
I'll pretend love's chutes and ladders
           Em                 F
'till the game stops playIng me

Outro
     C
He smokes another cigarette

And I'm on fire
        C
I'm on fire

I'm on fire
C
..He smokes another cigarette

And I'm on fire
        C
I'm on fire
         C
I'm on fire
