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.

[A]It`s not [A7]open [D] to discussion any[Dsus]more,
[A]She`s out[B/D] again tonight, [E] And I`m a[Cm7]lone once more,
[D]She`s all I [Bm7]have [Bm7-5]worth [Cm7] waiting [Fm]for,
but [B/D]baby plays a[Bm7]round. [E]
[A]And so it [A/G]seems I`ve always [D/F]been the last to [Dm/F]know,
[A]To hold [B/D]on to that girl, [E] I had to [Cm7]let her go.
[D/F] I wish to [Dm/F] God I [Cm7]didn`t love her [Fm]so,
[B/D] `Cause [E11]baby plays a[A]round.
[A/G]I try to be [D/F]strong, [A7/E] hold on to my [D]pride.[Cm7-5]
[Em7] She doesn`t [A7]even know it`s [D]wrong,
how much I [D^o]hurt inside.[F^o]
And heaven knows I`ve tried but [Fm]
ba[Bm7]by plays a[Dm]round, just a [Esus]play thing.[F^o]
Its hard to reconcile the facts I`m [E7]facing.
[A]It`s not [A7]open [D] to discussion any[Dsus]more,
[A]She walk`s[B/D] those shiny streets, [E] I walk the [Cm7]worn out floor.
[D]She`s all I [Bm7]have [Bm7-5]worth [Cm7] living [Fm]for,
[B/D]Baby [F6]plays, baby [D]plays a[Fmaj7]round [F7]
[Em7] [B7/D] [Em] [Dm7]
[A] [F] [A7]
