Difficulty: Novice

Intro:

Am G Am

Verse 1:

                    Am            G
Got me hanging on a string, honey
                   Am
Got me hanging for dear life
                    Dm         Em
Mama told me not to be so bold
                         Am
And now I'm paying a heavy price
                           Am    G
I fell head first into the fire
                     Am
What a foolish thing to do
                     Dm          Em
Gambled every bit of sense I had
             Am
And now I've lost it all to you

Chorus:

       Dm
All to you
    Em
You take my breath
   Am
My last request
        Dm       Em             Am
Is that you will always love me the best
            Dm            Em                        Am
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I guess
                       Dm            Em
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
Am                            C
Still I'm hanging on a string

Verse:
                                 Am       G
Out on the streets the bells are ringing
                          Am
A sad and sorry, lonesome tune
                            Dm        Em
I watched the faces as they pass me by
                     Am
I'm hoping that I'll see you
                             Am       G
I call your phone, it's disconnected
                          Am
Yeah it somehow no longer stands
                         Dm             Em
Guess the devil came and took you back
                        Am
And now your life is in his hands

Chorus:

       Dm
All to you
    Em
You take my breath
   Am
My last request
        Dm       Em             Am
Is that you will always love me the best
            Dm            Em                       Am
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I guess
                       Dm            Em
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
                       Am
Still I'm hanging on a string
                       Dm            Em
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
                       Am
Still I'm hanging on a string
