Start Jamming...
To [A] a certain extent I'll be taking your word for it
Cause it's all I can do
[F#m] [A] You'll be putting your [F#m] faith in me [A] and I
I'll be [E] placing a bet on you
If it's a sure thing that you want
[D] Write a letter [B] to your confidant
[A] Listen to me [F#m] child if you please
Oh there ain't [E] no [A] guarantees
[D] [A]
[Bm]
Oh well I gathered up my nickels and dimes
[D] And I stepped onto the bus
All the passengers were looking at the driver
[B] And he was smiling [E] at us
[A] Well we shimmied from side to side
[D] I said my [B] prayers and enjoyed the ride
[A] Cause there was nothing [F#m] I could do or say
To [B] make that driver drive [E] a particular way
[A] To a certain extent I'll be taking your word [D] for it
Cause it's all I [A] can do
You'll be putting [F#m] your faith in me [B] and I
I'll be placing [E] a bet on you
[A] If it's a sure thing that you need
[D] Cut your [B] finger and watch it [A] bleed
Listen to me child if you please
Oh there ain't no [E] guarantees

And I headed for the bar [A] downtown
Stopped a big young Annalee up
[B] And I get us a [E] bottle of brown
[A] Yeah but Crazy Chester and his four piece band
[D] Had her dancing [B] with another man
[A] And there was nothing [F#m] I could say or do
To [B] make sure that she didn't [E] go home with you
To [A] a certain extent I'll be taking your word for [D] it
Cause it's all I [A] can do
You'll be putting your [F#m] faith in me [F#] and I
