There I was in Arizona 
G                              C 
Playing stud with a dead man's hand 
C 
In the thick of a nasty downswing 
G                              C 
Getting coffee-housed by a well-dressed man 
C 
But my main concern was a big stack bully 
 G                                  C 
Who knocked 3 times then he laid 'em down 
C 
I knew right then it wasn't going to be pretty 
G                                   C 
I had to vamoose but I didn't know how 
F                       C 
Thought I was cool as a cactus 
G                              C 
Holding tricks, waiting for the ace 
        Bb F                        C 
My poker face I guess needs some practice 
G                                 C 
I finally learned how deep water tastes 
C 
I got stopped in Salt Lake City 
G                                     C 
I was trying to pass when I heard the howl 
G                                     C 
That policeman said "you sure are pretty" 
G                                       C 
It's a gawl-darn shame I gotta take you down 
F                          C 
Thought I was free as a pheasant 
G                       C 
Flying low chasing my dreams 
        Bb F                  C 
It's kinda strange out in the desert 
G                                 C 
I finally learned what deep water means
