[B]
Well, I tried to run my game, [A] she said,

[G#m] [Em] And I'm too tired [B] to go for [F#] your show [D#] again and again.
And she [B] started to explain, she said, [A]
man,
I ain't saying what [G#] you're playing [F#] [G#] just [C#m] can't make it.

[B] [F#] [G#m] Well, I thought that you sweat, [A] she said, don't get upset,
[G#] could you just [A#m] not [G#] break a [C#m] string?
[D] [E] [Em] And that won't do [F#] a [B] thing.
Are you [F#] sure?
[D#] No.
[B] So I said to myself, [A] I said, self,
do you see [G#] what is [A#] sailing [G#] through [C#m] my soul?
[Em] And I got to [F#] have some [D] more, [F#] don't you [F#] know?

[G#]
[B] [D#] [E] [F] [F#] It's enough to make [F] a [F#] light in the [F] dark.
[F#] It's [B] enough to [F#] make a [F]
[F#] bass [B] just [F#] a [F] bark.
[F#] It's enough to make a body [B] move [F#] [F] around.
