Tom : C
C G C/E C G D Am7
Guys like me we don't know how it feels
Absentee even closing the deal
Em Em7/D Em6/C# A
But every player there's a payoff in the final reel
C G C
But never with guys like me
Am G D Am7
Cause guys like me we look good at the gate
C G D Am7
But you'll agree with the odds on the slate
Em Em7/D Em6/C# A
and put your money on a bonafide heavyweight
C G C
and take it off guys like me
A/C# C G G/F#
take it off guys like me
Em Em7/D Em6/C# C
We pull you close but never really
looking warm but feeling chilly

when it's just a front we've fashioned

Cause guys like me we all vow to become

and block the circulation til we're all completely numb
