Introduction: Am G Am
Am
Got me hanging on a string, honey
G Am
Got me hanging for dear life
Dm
Mama told me not to be so bold
G Am
And I've been heavy crossed
Am
I fell head first into the fire
G Am
What a foolish thing to do
Dm
Gambled every bit of sense I had
G Am
And I've lost it all to you
Dm
All to you
G
You take my breath
Am
My last request
Dm
Is that you will
G Am
Always love me the best
Dm G Am
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I guess
Dm
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
G Am
Still I'm hanging on a string
Dm G
Oh oh
Am
Oh la la la... Oh la la la } (4x)
Am
Out on the streets the bells are ringing
G Am
I said I'm sorry lonesome june
Dm
I watch the faces as they pass me by
G Am
And I'm hoping that I'll see you
Am
I called your fone it's disconnected
G Am
It has somehow no longer stems
Dm
Guess the devil came and took you back
G Am
And my life is in his hands
Dm
All to you
G
You take my breath
Am
My last request
Dm
Is that you will
G Am
Always love me the best
Dm G Am
So all your pretty babies can have the last laugh I guess
Dm
Still I'm hanging on a string, honey
G Am
Still I'm hanging on a string
