I bought all the tickets. They cancelled the game.
D MajorD                      G+G
I give you my picture. It didn't fit your frame
D MajorD        A augmentedA            D MajorD
         Be my friend tonight

G+G                        D MajorD                       A7A7
I'll sleep on the couch. You can leave on that light.
D MajorD                              G+G
Well, I won't do nothing wrong till you say it's right

D MajorD                        E7E7                  A7A7
I'll rub your shoulders just like they were mine

I won't make no passes just passing time
D MajorD                     A augmentedA              D MajorD
