      Call A Spade A Spade
By Turnpike Troubadours (with Jamie Wilson - awesome singer)

[Intro]
C


[Verse 1]

                  G                  C
Well you've got a ring, you've got a new last name
               G                          C
You've got the same old eyes, they're the same, aw the same
                 F          C        C/B     Am
And you've got a heart big enough to kill us all
             G                   C
But when you fall, well damn you fall


[Verse 2]

              G                    C
You've got a way, and you've got away with it before
             G                       C
You've got a look that could drop me dead here on the floor
                 F               C        C/B   Am
And you've got a touch, it's the sweetest one I know
        G                   C
I gotta go, yeah I've gotta go


[Chorus]

   G                         F              C
And everything's so easy up until it's complicated
         G                                  F               C
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
        G                                    F           C
Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated
               C              G            F              C
Aw, but can we dance a little long, can we call a spade a spade


[Verse 3]
                  G            C
Well you've gotta try an awful hard to keep it hid
                 G                                  C
And you've got a man (I've got a man) oh and I been actin’ like a kid
               F           C      C/B     Am
And you've got more than a tattoo up your sleeve
             G                                             C
It's time to leave (it's time to leave), well it's time to leave


[Chorus]

   G                         F              C
And everything's so easy up until it's complicated
         G                                  F               C
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
        G                                    F           C
Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated
               C              G            F              C
Aw, but can we dance a little long, can we call a spade a spade

[Verse 4]

                G                  C
Well I've gotta quit, (yeah darlin I guess I do too)
                 G                                C
Well I'll take a hint (oh take a hint), it's high time we get a clue
            F                             C        C/B    Am
And darlin’ please (oh please) well could you stop sayin’ love
           G                                    C
This ain't love, (no, this ain’t love) good God above


[Chorus]

   G                         F              C
And everything's so easy up until it's complicated
         G                                  F               C
Until we wake with our heads shakin' at the choices we have made
        G                                    F           C
Well to call the whole thing stupid seems so sorely understated
               C              G            F              C
Aw, but can we dance a little long, can we call a spade a spade
               C              G            F              C
Aw, but can we dance a little long, can we call a spade a spade
