[INTRO:] G D C D G [VERSE 1:]
       C                      G               C
Pardon me if I'm leaving in a hurry can't you see 

            G                C           G      D
There's too much to lose for me to stay around 

     Em                 C                    G                C
I've played your game, obeyed your rules the best that I know how 

      G                 D                 G
Gonna get out while the game don't get me down
[CHORUS:]
                       B7               C     G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone 

                                 D
I won't see you again before the dawn 

            C                            G  C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around

        G                D                    G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
[INTERLUDE:] D C D G [VERSE 2:]
       C                          G            C
Pardon me if I don't turn back or even say goodbye

  G             C                 G    D
I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea 

    Em              C           G                    C
Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain't too sure 

        G                 D               G
And the dust cloud on the edge of town is me
[VERSE 3:]
       C                                 G                C
If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow 

   G              C            G    D
Forget it, that's all in yesterday 

   Em           C          G              C
Forgiving is to lovers, as trusting is to fools 

       G               D             G
And of losing there is nothing I can say
[CHORUS:]
                       B7               C     G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone 

                                 D
I won't see you again before the dawn 

            C                            G  C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around

        G                D                    G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
[CHORUS:]
                       F                C     G
It's been a long, long day and now it's gone, gone

                                 D
I won't see you again before the dawn 

            C                            G  C
There's too much to lose for me to stay around

        G                D                    G
So I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town

                            D                    G
Well, I'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
