Here's the chords/lyrics to "Baby Plays Around" from Elvis Costello's
"Spike" album. Someone requested this a while back but it's taken me
a while to get around to typing it in.
It's in CHORD format, ie run it through the CHORD program that was
recently posted and you get a nice postscript songsheet.

Title: Baby Plays Around
Title: words & music by D.P.A. Mac Manus & Cait O'Riordan
AIt's not A7open D to discussion anyDsusmore,
AShe's outB/D# again tonight, E And I'm aC#m7lone once more,
DShe's all I Bm7have Bm7-5worth C#m7 waiting F#mfor,
but [B/D#]baby plays A[Bm7]round. [E]
AAnd so it A/Gseems I've always D/F#been the last to Dm/Fknow,
ATo hold B/D#on to that girl, E I had to C#m7let her go.
D/F# I wish to Dm/F God I C#m7didn't love her F#mso,
[B/D#] 'Cause [E11]baby plays A[A]round.
A/GI try to be D/F#strong, A7/E hold on to my Dpride.C#m7-5
Em7 She doesn't A7even know it's Dwrong,
how much I [D#^o]hurt inside.[F^o]
And heaven knows I've tried but F#m
baBm7by plays aDmround, just a Esusplay thing.[F^o]
Its hard to reconcile the facts I'm E7facing.
AIt's not A7open D to discussion anyDsusmore,
AShe walk'sB/D# those shiny streets, E I walk the C#m7worn out floor.
DShe's all I Bm7have Bm7-5worth C#m7 living F#mfor,
[B/D#]Baby [F6]plays, baby [D]plays A[Fmaj7]round [F7]
[Em7] [B7/D#] [Em] [Dm7]
[A] [F] [A7]
