Just Enough Rope

[Verse 1]
 D
You've got me wrapped around your finger like a yo-yo on a string
                                 A
Playin' games with my heart. And I can't do a thing
         D                                 D7                      G
Well you throw me down than you snap me up I'm in the palm of your hand
        D                                    A               D
Why you get your kicks doin all these tricks I'll never understand

[Chorus]
                                                G           A         D
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope, just enough ties that bind
                                    A
Just enough love but not enough off security or piece of mind
            D                                       D7               G
You give me just enough slack then you yank me back right before I'm gone
            D                                     A              D
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope to keep me hangin on.

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
     D
Well you tell me that you love me then you push me away
                          A
How you're gonna treat me changes day to day
         D                                                 D7              G
Well you build me up then you tear me down and when you've got me standin'
tall
D                                  A                D
You pull the rug out from under me just to watch me fall

[Chorus]
                                                G           A         D
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope, just enough ties that bind
                                    A
Just enough love but not enough off security or piece of mind
            D                                       D7               G
You give me just enough slack then you yank me back right before I'm gone
            D                                     A              D
You give me just enough rope, just enough hope to keep me hangin on.
