Play Your Cards Right Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Dm]But it's nice to see you,
to see you,
tonight's the night
if you play your cards right
Yes, I'm the leader of the pack,
which makes me such a lucky jack
And over there, they're so appealing,
okay dollies, do your [Am]dealin'
[Dm][Am][C][Em]
[Dm][Am]
[Em]Just tell [G]me what the [Dm]deal is,
I feel there's no [Ddim]connection
[Dm]Between us, all [G]that's happened
is you tryna teach a lesson
I keep walkin' round [Dm]the question,
but you playin' me half -court
I've been tryna [G]double up my luck
and break the backboard
[Am]Came to hear [Dm]your last words,
guess I came too late, so
[E]Li quor pour[G]in' after,
[Em]this'll make your brain float
[G]Maybe [Dm]so, maybe it's not for you
Maybe the opportun[Am]ity's there
and [G]I'll see you soon
Only if I knew [Dm]what you
were thinkin' I would too
[Ddim]I would [Fm]do anything
[G]to make my point approved
[Em]I would lose all I g[Dm]ot
that I've been workin' for
Deep in my heart I know [G]I won't
because [Am]I can't afford
[G]Any more of up[Dm]set,
I couldn't count success
[Eaug]And I woul[Am]d doubt what's nex[G]t,
what's this [Am]about
Sent texts, I'm missin' out cuts
[Dm]All that I need is support in this life
Don't know [Am]what I'm gonna be [G]talkin'
bout [Am]when everything's right
Guess I'll [Dm]be done tryin'
[Eaug]to be who you li[Am]ke
I can have a good life
if I play my cards [Dm]right
If I play my cards [Am]right[Dm]
[C][Em]
[Dm][Am][Em]
[G]I've been feel[Dm]in' better lately,
thinkin' bout [Ddim]my future
More [Fm]optimistic [G]thoughts,
it ain't [Em]a thing that I was used to
[Am]But now I see [Dm]the light in it,
now I feel enlightened with
Happiness di[Am]vided in a circle,
see [Em]in side of it
[Am]Got invited [Dm]to the party,
they want [Ddim]us back
Back[E]ing up [G]the movement now,
they want [Am]us back
Don't let it get [Dm]your head sprung,
remember child
Who you are,
forgetting where [Am]you came from
[A]Really ain't [Em]gon' get you far,
[G]you still gotta [Dm]live through
Everything that [Ddim]hits your path,
[E]sometimes it's rou[Em]gh
But [G]to me it teaches [Em]how to act
Know when [Dm]to talk and
know when to get
Know what [Am]you want
and know when to sit
Keep what [Em]you want,
leave [Am]no innocence
[Dm]Diggin' deep to touch
[E]the soul of the earth
It ain't [C]gon' speak
unless [Am]you test your worth
Uh, [Dm]all that I need is support
in this life
Don't know [G]what I'm gonna be
talkin' bout
[A]when everything's [Am]right
Guess I'll [Dm]be done
tryin' [E]to be who you [Am]like
I could have a good life
if I play my cards [Dm]right
If I play my card[Am]s right
You can't [Dm]swipe[C][Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am][Dm][E]
[Am]
[Em][Am][Dm]
[Am][Em][Am][Dm][Ddim][E]
[G][Em]
[Am]You
