All I can do is play

Some might say I'm a catch

I hope that I've at least given you pause
   B7B7      E minorEm
As we wait for the check

Bridge:
      A minorAm
You may be calmer than me

As over me as I'm into you


     G+G    E minorEm      B minorBm
But ain't it a proven fact that opposites attract?

I can't play it cool--you can!
 BB

I can't play it safe--you do!


  C#C#
But you can't play yourself a
