F F# G

[Verse 1]
G
If maybe you'd move over,
                              C
Gave someone else a chance to try their luck;
   G
In-stead, you run up closer,
                                 C             A
Try'n to grab a page before they close the book.

[Chorus]
D      F7
It was over 'fore it started,
D7
Seemed so long when we began,
Bb       C
Hope you take it like a friend.
F7
It's a shame to see you cryin',
D7
Wouldn't think to way back when,
Bb              C              F7
Looks like L'll never hear the end.

[Verse 2]
G
Thought you had the honor.
                               C             F F#
Took special pride in all your well laid plans.
    G
For-got about the others.
                                      C          A
We moved out t'ward the light showin' empty hands.

[Chorus]
D      F7
It was over 'fore it started,
D7
Seemed so long when we began,
Bb       C
Hope you take it like a friend.
F7
It's a shame to see you cryin',
D7
Wouldn't think to way back when,
Bb              C              F7
Looks like L'll never hear the end.

[Verse 3]
G
Love to be the winner.
                                C
Gather up your chips in time to cash 'em in.
G
We're all lookin' thinner,
                                   C         A
Playin' cards too close for either one ti win.

[Chorus]
D      F7
It was over 'fore it started,
D7
Seemed so long when we began,
Bb       C
Hope you take it like a friend.
F7
It's a shame to see you cryin',
D7
Wouldn't think to way back when,
Bb              C              F7
Looks like L'll never hear the end.
F7
Woa-shame to see you cryin',
D7
Wouldn't think to way back when,
Bb       C
Hope you take it like a friend.
