The Wild Reeds - Catch and release

Oh,^A Rosie, won't you visit me? I'm ^Ein a bad way and I can't seem to shake it Reme^Dmber the one with e^Bmyes like the sun? It t^Eurns out I was wrong

I ^Awish I could say it had gone my way But ins^Etead I've just been waiting in vain I keep p^Bmlaying the record f^Dorward and back And it's ^Edriving me mad

I was a ^Bmfool to believe, too b^Dlind to see I'm ^Bmjust a pawn ^Din a game of c^Eatch and release

^AEvery time he cut the line I thought I'd make it out ali^Dve Till he r^Dmeeled me in just to t^Eoss me back And he d^Did it with a s^Amile

Oh, ^ARose, you know just what to say It's ^Enot like me to get this bent out of shape But I was c^Dhasing a dream down a o^Bmne way street And ^Enow it's out of sight

I guess some p^Aeople don't want the real thing You wouldn't r^Eecognize it if all you've seen Is a ^Bmphotograph of a ^Dpainting On a p^Eixelated screen

I was a ^Bmfool to believe, too ^Dblind to see I'm ^Bmjust a pawn ^Din a game of ^Ecatch and release

^AEvery time he cut the line I thought I'd make it out a^Dlive Till he r^Dmeeled me in just to t^Eoss me back And he did ^Dit with a ^Asmile

They said "^AHold your tongue, save some face" Keep the secrets to your^Dself But it's a ^Dmman's world and he^E got the last word So I ^Dhad to write it ^Adown

There's a ^Dlesson to be ^Bmlearned in this And that's ^Aall he gave to me V^Dictory is l^Bmearning how to ^Abow-out gracefully Don't h^Dold your breath The fu^Bmture's always ^Ahand in ^Ehand with ^F#mfate And p^Dart of growing ^Bmup is knowing ^Ewhen to walk away

E^Avery time you cut the line I thought I'd make it out alive^D Till you r^Dmeeled me in just to ^Etoss me back And you d^Did it with a ^Asmile

So I c^Aut my ties, but won't count the loss The sun was bound to se^Dt ^DmNow you get to ^Ebe the fool In a g^Dame where no one w^Ains

It's just a g^Dame where no one ^Awins It's just a g^Dame where no one, g^Dmame where no one No one ^Awins
