COnce we were so happy you Fwere my very Cown
Then you bought that guitar and you D7ruined our happy G7home
CYou told me that you're gonna pick Fyou're gonna be a Cstar
Well I'm tired of playing second fiddle G7to an old Cguitar
You Fgaze at that guitar on your Cknee
In a D7way that you never look at G7me
CThis love affair of yours has gone too Ffar
And I'm tired of playing Csecond fiddle G7to an old Cguitar
You said it wouldn't be long till Fyou'd be number Cone
That we'd have lots of money and D7we'd have lots of G7fun
CWell all you've done is pick and grin Fand sing off key so Cfar
I'm tired of playing second fiddle G7to an old Cguitar
You Fgaze at that guitar on your Cknee
In a D7way that you never look at G7me
CThis love affair of yours has gone too Ffar
And I'm tired of playing Csecond fiddle G7to an old Cguitar
I've talked and preached and fought with you Fand tried most Ceverything
If you keep a picking an old guitar G7then I'm a gonna Csing
