Verse 1:
Am               C7M9/G
Hey Mr. why'd ya play that song
D7sus2                D9/F#
Till I heard it I was gettin' along
Am                       C7M9/G
Why'd ya have to take me to that place
D                           D/A
And make me think about her smilin' face
Am                      C7M9/G
How she used to make me laugh out loud
D7sus2                     D/A            Am
Kiss me in the middle of a down town crowd
                 C7M9
Talk dirty to me on the phone
D              D/F#
Then I woke up alone

Chorus:
             C           F
And it's like water to a drowning man

 I.O.U written in sand
C                     F                      G           
 Tryin' to beat three ace's with a couple of kings.
      C                F
Yeah,  Round trip on a run away train
C                 F
A Hand shake from Saddam Hussein
C               F                  G
Sweet dreams of love and a wedding ring
                 Am  C7M9/G  D9/F#                  
Didn't mean a thing    
                    Am  C7M9/G    D  D/F# 
It Didn't mean a thing,  no ooo ooo

Verse 2:
Am                     C7M9/G
Said she was the answer to my prayers
D7sus2                  D9/F#
As she ran her fingers through my hair
Am                     C7M9/G
She told me that I was second to none
D                         D/A        Am(hammer into chord)
She promised me the stars one by one
                          C7M9/G
She had me goin' from the day we met
D7sus2              D/F#
Plans were made the date was set
         Am                     C7M9/G
Now it was picture perfect like Barbie and Ken
D                    D/F#
But this is now and that was then
