#1.
  F5                                     C5
I play guitar in a little bar, down the street 

from here.
C5
They pay me to come and to hum and to strum for 
    F5
the folks to hear.
F5
But I think it's unfair, when I'm sitting up there 
       Bb5
and my baby walks in.
              F5                       C5               
And I have to play like a friend..oh, for her and him.

#2.
    F5                                  C5
Oh, how it hurts to see her flirt with someone else.
C5                                      F5
And oh, how it aches to see her make a fool of herself.
F5                                      Bb5
I swear I'd leave if I didn't need the dough, my friend.
             F5                     C5
It's nothing but a sin..to have to play and pretend..
    F5            C5 F5 C5
for her and him.

#3.
    F5                              C5
The boss man say I gotta play from nine till three.
C5                                     F5
They come in each night at ten, for a while, then leave.
F5                                    F5
That's when I play with soul and the customers know that 
    Bb5
I'm dyin' within.
             F5                                     C5
Cause I know where they've been..and where they're goin' 
            F5
again..just her and him.

OUTRO:
 F5           Bb5           Bbm..........
(Her and him..her and him..her and him..)
       F5                                     C5
I know where they've been..and where they're goin' 
            F5
again..just her and him..(Fade.)
