Ever since that woman, went a stray 
D                                          G 
And the jukebox knows that I'm bound, and determined

Please don't cut me off, or I?ll go crazy 
D                                A 
I've lost, everything except my mind 
D                                  G 
Now I'll give my car keys, to the barmaid 
D                          A       D 
You can call me a cab, at closin? time.
