F#m7   B   A   E
      E          B                A               E
Take it or leave it, I've heard it been said
E             B                   A            B
All this Spring fever's just way over my head
A               G#m7           A        B7
Stealing my moments, taking up all my time
                F#m7    B               A  E
It's playing Russian Roulette with my mind
                        B              A E
                f#m7                     
E                   B                     A           E
It's none of my business baby, just what's going on
E                    B                   A              B
I'm not going to wait till somebody throw me a bone
            A            G#m7       A                 B7
I'm way out on a limb now, and nothing seems to rhyme
                F#m7    B               A  E
It's playing Russian Roulette with my mind
                F#m7    B               A  E
E                         B     A                          E
I think that you've caught on, that you've been used and all
E                   B                       A              B
I'm going down New Orleans, I've got to see Dr. John
A               G#m7             A              B7
Got my mojo working everything will be fine
                 F#m7     B                A  E
Stop playing Russian Roulette with my mind
                F#m7    B               A  E
E                    B               A               E
It's not easy baby when everything starts getting out of control
E                     B                 A       B
Hang on to your hat now, hang on to your soul
A                  G#m7         A            B
Don't worry baby, I wanna throw you the line
                    F#m7        B               A  E
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
                F#m7    B               A   E
E                  B        A            E
Too many hustlers, I've been here before
E                 B               A               B
None of them really know just who that you are
                A           G#m7        A        B7
Everything gets contracted and space gets confined
                   F#m7       B                 A  E
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
                F#m7    B               A   E
                 F#m7        B
They're playing Russian Roulette
                 F#m7        B
They're playing Russian Roulette
                 F#m7        B                   A  E
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
                  F#m7     B
They're playing Russian Roulette
                  F#m7     B
They're playing Russian Roulette
                F#m7     B                       A  E
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
