| Well my old friend | said to me |
| D | E | A | E | |
| I ain't b | eing what I'm s | upposed to be |
| A | Bm | |
| Well I don't know, | it could be true |
| D | E | D | A | |
| I know I w | asn't always | there for you |
| A | Bm | |
| Now you're ready to walk out, | you're ready to run |
| D | E | |
| Talk to me | , can't you see |
| D | E | D | E | |
| I would n | ever want to | do what it s | eems I've d | one |
| A | Bm | |
| You can't deal me the aces and | think I wouldn't play |
| D | E | D | A | |
| Don't let this be the | reason you would w | alk away |
| The things you think that I should do |
| I've never understood that part of you |
| I know I've tried to be a friend |
| But you feel undermined and hurt again |
| Now don't let it convince you, don't take it to heart |
| Compromise and realize you can never really run everything you start |
| You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play |
| Don't let this be the reason you would walk away |
| And I guess I said I couldn't see |
| How things could turn out like they've come to be |
| And if I lied, if I knew |
| I was only trying to think of you |
| Now you're ready to walk out, you're ready to run |
| Talk to me, can't you see |
| I would never want to do what it seems I've done |
| You can't deal me the aces and think I wouldn't play |
| Don't let this be the reason you would walk away |
