[Verse 1]
     C          F         C      F
They all sat around in a circle

C            F           G
Laughing and all telling lies

         F           G           C       F
When the tall one he bumped in a dollar

        C             G          C      F
He said boys I've got nothing to hide

       C            F              C      F
If the King and the Queen stood together

         C            F         G
Then the ace he would not be to blame

           F              G           C       F
And if the cards were all laid on the table

     C             G           C
Then love could be more than a game
[Chorus]
           F            G            C
And if the stars didn't shine on the water

         C            Bb          F
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand

       C          F       C       F
And if I were the man you wanted

        C          G          C      G
I would not be the man that I am
[Verse 2]
    C           F           C            F
Now I have seen my share of long nights

    C           F           G
And I have told my share of lies

    F          G        C         F
And I have run into the darkness

     C         G            C
When I saw the look in your eyes

       C            F          C          F
If the night didn't lie in the darkness

         C              F          G
Then the daylight would be hard to find

           F            G        C          F
And if the truth didn't turn to a weakness

        C          G         C
I would never have spoken my mind
[Chorus]
           F            G            C
And if the stars didn't shine on the water

         C            Bb          F
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand

       C          F       C       F
And if I were the man you wanted

        C          G          C      G
I would not be the man that I am
[Interlude] (see Intro) | C | Dm | C | F | | C | G | C | C | [Chorus]
             F         G       C
So if you're going out to California

           C         Bb       F
Then don't linger in New Mexico

       C                F            C        F
And if you think of the one there behind you

     C             G         C
Then you might not feel so alone
[Chorus]
           F            G            C
And if the stars didn't shine on the water

         C            Bb          F
Then the sun wouldn't burn on the sand

       C          F       C       F
And if I were the man you wanted

        C          G          C
I would not be the man that I am
[Outro]
       C          F       C       F
And if I were the man you wanted

        C          G          C
I would not be the man that I am
