C                             F
Play me like a player piano
Am
roll me from the corners
F
of your dark and dusty shadows

C                 F
Like a player piano,
Am
I sit useless
                      F
most of the time

G                  Am
The bar gets darker
F
it swallows up the scarlet

The barkeep's looking thin
G              Am
We sit together
F
until only the piano

of the player remains  (C, F, Am, F)

C
Tell me why you won't keep it
C
Tie me up in a shoe-string box
               F
She don't keep it if
               F
she don't need it

C                        F
Get me out of the deep end
 Am                            F
my legs are dangling over the roof

G                    Am
The room gets brighter
F
when I can see inside her

when I can turn the switch
G                Am
But she's so together
F
I can do the damage and

she can manage the flames  (C, F, Am, F) x2
