Dm              G                C
And the tennis court was covered up
                      F
With some tent-like thing
Dm                   G
And you asked me to dance
              C                      F
But I said, "dancing is a dangerous game"

Oh, I thought
This is gonna be one of those things
Now I know
I'm never gonna love again

Chorus:
F       C           F    G    F
I've got some tricks up my sleeve
         C        F   G
Takes one to know one
                  Dm   G
You're a cowboy like me

Never wanted love
Just a fancy car
Now I'm waiting by the phone
Like I'm sitting in an airport bar

Chorus:
You had some tricks up your sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me

                F
Perched in the dark
                 G                        C
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
                F
I could be the way forward
              G
Only if they pay for it
                     C
You're a bandit like me
               F
Eyes full of stars
                  G
Hustling for the good life
                   C
Never thought I'd meet you here
It could be love
                 F
We could be the way forward
                 G
And I know I'll pay for it

You're a cowboy like me

Perched in the dark
Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear
Like it could be love
I could be the way forward
Only if they pay for it
You're a bandit like me

Eyes full of stars
Hustling for the good life
Never thought I'd meet you here
It could be love
We could be the way forward
And I know I'll pay for it

Am           Em                 G
And the skeletons in both our closets
         D                Am
Plotted hard to fuck this up
                 Em
And the old men that I've swindled
 G            D              Am
Really did believe I was the one
                Em                   G
And the ladies lunching have their stories about
  D                      Am
When you passed through town
             Em            G         D
But that was all before I locked it down

Now you hang from my lips
Like the Gardens of Babylon
With your boots beneath my bed
Forever is the sweetest con

Chorus:
I've had some tricks up my sleeve
Takes one to know one
You're a cowboy like me

And I'm never gonna love again
I'm never gonna love again
I'm never gonna love again
