Hand, hands like hooks
G              Em/A
You'll get hurt if you play with crooks
G5/C        Gadd9/D
Your hand, that's all he took
G              Em/A
The world opened up for your looks

'Faithful's' not a bad word

[Interlude]

Em
The arcade lights are hanging down
         Asus2      Em     Asus2
The rain surrenders to the town
Em                            
The world of men don't mean a thing
         Asus2         Em           Asus2
When all they give you is a diamond ring
