And there’s (Am)nev er an y rain when you want it.

A (Am)hol low lit tle game, and you’ve won it.

(Am)Look ing for a (Bb)thrill, but you’ve done it (C)all.

(Dm)So (C)long,

Go (Dm)home;

Oh, yeah.

And ev ’ry bod y here’s with from (Bbsus2)some where else.

You can (Dm)make a mil lion dol lars,

but you might lose your self.

And you can take the heat, will your (Bbsus2)heart grow cold?

They say (Dm)act ing’s just pre tend ing,
