Cheating at Solitaire
Capo: 1
DIf you leave this world before me
I promise to you I shall keep
I Emwon't fall in love with another one
Over your Dashes I shall weep
If you leave before me
A promise I never will tell
AEmbout all the things we talked about
Our dark Dsecrets I'll keep well
Chorus:
Aren't you Emglad, there ain't Gnobody Dlistening?
Aren't you Emglad, that Gno one seems to Ccare what we Gdo?
Aren't you Dglad there ain't Emno one here to Dtell us what's right or wGrong?
While we Emsit and we Gtalk about Dnothing
What if there's no God in Heaven?
What if there's no God at all?
I promise these last years of loving you
Will be the best years of them all
This don't look like Heaven
I'm surrounded by fiery walls
For if I were to live here without you
That'd be the greatest sin of them all
Repeat Chorus

Cheating at Solitaire

Capo: 1

If you leave this world before me

I promise to you I shall keep

I won't fall in love with another one

Over your ashes I shall weep

If you leave before me

A promise I never will tell

About all the things we talked about

Our dark secrets I'll keep well

Chorus:

Em G D

Aren't you glad, there ain't nobody listening?

Em G C G

Aren't you glad, that no one seems to care what we do?

D Em D G

Aren't you glad there ain't no one here to tell us what's right or wrong?

Em G D

While we sit and we talk about nothing

What if there's no God in Heaven?

What if there's no God at all?

I promise these last years of loving you

Will be the best years of them all

This don't look like Heaven

I'm surrounded by fiery walls

For if I were to live here without you

That'd be the greatest sin of them all

Repeat Chorus
