INTRO: D 
 
Verse 1 
 D 
You've got me wrapped around your finger like a yo-yo on a string 
                                 A 
Playin' games with my heart. And I can't do a thing 
         D                                 D7                      G 
Well you throw me down than you snap me up I'm in the palm of your hand 
        D                                    A               D 
Why you get your kicks doin all these tricks I'll never understand 
CHORUS 
                                                G           A         D 
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope, just enough ties that bind 
                                    A 
Just enough love but not enough off security or piece of mind 
            D                                       D7               G 
You give me just enough slack then you yank me back right before I'm gone 
            D                                     A              D 
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope to keep me hangin on. 
 
Instrumental:D  A 
 
VERSE2 
     D 
Well you tell me that you love me then you push me away 
                          A 
How you're gonna treat me changes day to day 
         D                                                 D7              G 
Well you build me up then you tear me down and when you've got me standin' 
tall 
D                                  A                D 
You pull the rug out from under me just to watch me fall 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 2x
