That's What I Get
View chords used in this chart
D
Well it's been years since I made all the rounds
D A
And closed up all the honky tonks in town
A
I just got used to being on my own
A D
Waiting for no one to call my own
D
But now the hands of fate have laid a card on me
D G
A winning hand I didn't want to see
G Gm D E7
No one I could blame. I wanted in this game
G A D
But now I'm right back where I never thought I'd be
A D
That's what I get for falling once again
A D
You made me forget with no regrets, what I knew back then
G A G A
Well I thought I knew it all, I swore I'd never fall
G A D
But here I go again, that's what I get
Now I resign myself to you and I don't care
You make me feel like I'm a millionaire
Because of you I gave that wheel a spin
Even though I know the house will always win
And now the hands of fate have laid a card on me
A winning hand I didn't want to see
No one I could blame, I wanted in this game
But now I'm right back where I never thought I'd be
