Three simple chords There's no harmony There is no score There's no accompany When she's all alone How deep she is She played on my heart strings Like they were guitar strings I played along just like a fool She played me wrong And left me out of tune She played me like the blues (x2) Striped down to bones But there's a beating heart There is a soul That was bought and sold
At the crossroads She played on my heart strings Like they were guitar strings I played along just like a fool She played me wrong And left me out of tune She played me like the blues (x2) (guitar solo) She played on my heart strings Like they were guitar strings I played along just like a fool She played me wrong And left me out of tune She played me like the blues (x2)
