G		     C	   Am	  D	    G
Ain't no big deal to lose, I keep telling myself,
Em		  Am		      D			      	  D
I get used to the blues, I won't stay on the shelf, I'll find somebody
else
     Em				  Am
They say that love is sweeter the second time around
	Em			Am
But I'm way past that number somehow
	C		Em			Am	   G	      C    D
You'd think that even a fool like me could have found true love in my
life.

Chorus:
G			C		    Am		    D	   G   C  D
Ain't no trick to make love come to you, no matter what the people say.
G			C			    Am	     D	      G
Ain't no trick to make love come to you but it takes magic to make it
stay.

(Solo: same as intro)

G			C     Am     D	      G    
It's just a part of the game, I keep telling myself
Em			Am		D
Hard luck found out my name, I let my bridges burn, but I'll just live
and learn
     Em				  Am
They say that love is sweeter the second time around
	Em			 Am
But I'm way past that number somehow
	C		Em			Am	   G	    C   D
You'd think that even a fool like me could have found true love somehow

Chorus + a quick C, D change, then into the next chorus
