 Griff
It was Texas it was Tennessee
 Cadd9Riff
It was what I had coming to me
 Em7Riff
You were unlike anything before
 Cadd9Riff
Black magic devil killer, I was yours
 Griff
It was the early days of rock and roll
 Cadd9Riff
It was Otis it was Memphis soul
 Em7Riff
It was a plane crash it was overnight
 Cadd9Riff
It was burning fast and burning bright
Baby, don't you Gtalk no more. That look is loud enough
You don't have to Em7tell me how it feels not to be in love
See that was my Cadd9oldest game. Darling, it was my Dclaim to fame
And I Em7knew it when I met you all that Dyou would need was more than what I Cadd9got
Oh, so baby please just Gstop
 Griff
It was Texas it was Tennessee
 Cadd9Riff
It was exes and some wanna-be-s
 Em7Riff
It was reckless it was understood
 Cadd9Riff
It didn't matter 'cause it felt so good
 Griff
And I'll still be here if you change your mind
 Cadd9Riff
But I can see the leaving in your eyes
 Em7Riff
Don't want to hear it 'cause I know it well
 Cadd9Riff
I've said it all before to someone else
Baby, don't you Gtalk no more. That look is loud enough
You don't have to Em7tell me how it feels not to be in love
See that was my Cadd9oldest game. Darling, it was my Dclaim to fame
And I Em7knew it when I met you all that Dyou would need was more than what I Cadd9got
Oh, so baby please just Gstop
 Griff
It was Texas it was Tennessee
 Cadd9Riff
A kind of love close akin to grief
 Em7Riff
It was everything that I could want
 Cadd9Riff
California came and took it all
Baby, don't you Gtalk no more. That look is loud enough
You don't have to Em7tell me how it feels not to be in love
See that was my Cadd9oldest game. Darling, it was my Dclaim to fame
And I Em7knew it when I met you all that Dyou would need was more than what I Cadd9got
Oh, so baby please just Gstop
