V1:
Tug on my heartstrings where you re standing,
Up above a plane is landing,
And you can tell me what is wrong,
But I won t listen when you re gone.
Chorus:
And we re standing at a checkmate,
Can t decide which way is up,
Don t even know which way we re headed,
So you should pick another girl up.
Interlude: * {* = strum once}
V2: {Same Chords as Verse 1}
Hold onto me as you whisper in my ear,
Whisper things you think I didn t know,
You think I didn t know you were unfaithful,
Well you got it so wrong.
{Chorus}
{Interlude}
V3:
{Repeat x3}
Don t hold on to what you think we have cause it s not real.
Don t hold on to what you think we have cause it s not real.
Don t hold on to what you think we have cause it s not real.
Chorus 2: {Same chords as Chorus}
So we re standing at a checkmate,
And I ve decided which way is up,
And I know which way I m headed,
You should know I ve closed the door.
{Chorus}
*
And we re standing at a checkmate.
