If Love Is A Red Dress

D  A  D  A  G  D  A

 A  D       A
My heart is empty
E    A         D
Your eyes are dull
A     D       A
Once we were hungry
 G     D    A   A7 
Now we are full
  D    D7        A
These ties that bind us
 B                 D
Can't beat these chains
A   D        A
If love is shelter
G          D           A
I'm gonna walk in the rain

 A   D      A
You were my angel
 E   A       D
Now you are real
 A  D        A
So like a stranger
 G       D    A   A7
Colder than steel
  D  D7     A
The morning after
 B              D
No one should brag
A   D         A
If love is a red dress
 G    D          A
Well hang me in rags

    D   D7   A
    Away
      E    D        A
    There goes the fairy tale
     D    D7           A
    Lord, ain't it a shame?
    D            A
    In all this comfort,
       G     D          A
    I can't take the strain

A   D        A
If we played even
E    A       D
I'd be your queen
 A   D            A
But someone was cheatin'
G       D      A   A7
And it wasn't me
D   D7           A
I played on the table
 B                  D
You held something back
A   D      A
If love is aces,
 G         D   A
Gimme the jack
