Here is a simplified version of the track


Intro: C   Am   F G C G 


Verse 1:  
                 C                     Am                     Dm                      G
I'm leaving the table, I'm out of the game, I don't know the people, in your picture frame
           F            Fm     C        E7    Am              F       G                 C   G 
If I ever loved you or no, no, it's a crying shame if I ever loved you, if I knew your name


Verse 2: 
                  C                        Am                           Dm                   G
You don't need a lawyer, I'm not making a claim, you don't need to surrender, I'm not taking aim
                F           Fm          C        E7     Am                    F    G                  C   G
I don't need a lover, no, no, no, the wretched beast is tame, I don't need a lover, so blow out the flame

Verse 3: 
                C                      Am              Dm                         G
There's nobody missing, there is no reward, little by little, we're cutting the chord
                     F          Fm         C      E7    Am                   F       G                  C   G
We're spending the treasure, no, no, that love cannot afford, I know you can feel it, the sweetness restored

Verse 4: 
                C                    Am                    Dm                        G
I don't need a reason, for what I became, I've got these excuses, they're tired and lame
                F            Fm            C       E7     Am                      F   G                 C   G
I don't need a pardon, no, no, no, there's no one left to blame, I'm leaving the table, I'm out of the game
                F          G           C
I'm leaving the table, I'm out of the game...
