Intro: Am  G  Am

Am
Got me hanging on a string, honey
G                       Am
Got me hanging for dear life
                   Dm
Mama told me not to be so bold
G                   Am
And I've been heavy crossed

Am
I fell head first into the fire
G                      Am
What a foolish thing to do
                     Dm
Gambled every bit of sense I had
G                      Am
And I've lost it all to you

       Dm
All to you
G
You take my breath
Am
My last request
           Dm
Is that you will
G                  Am
Always love me the best

            Dm            G                        Am
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I guess
                      Dm
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
G                     Am
Still I'm hanging on a string

Dm  G
Oh oh
Am
Oh la la la... Oh la la la } (4x)

Am
Out on the streets the bells are ringing
G                         Am
I said I'm sorry lonesome june
                         Dm
I watch the faces as they pass me by
G                        Am
And I'm hoping that I'll see you

Am
I called your fone it's disconnected
G                        Am
It has somehow no longer stems
                         Dm
Guess the devil came and took you back
G                     Am
And my life is in his hands

       Dm
All to you
G
You take my breath
Am
My last request
           Dm
Is that you will
G                  Am
Always love me the best

            Dm            G                        Am
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I guess
                      Dm
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
G                     Am
Still I'm hanging on a string
