G             Em
She invited me over to her place
      C                   D
for a game of Scrabble and perhaps a taste
   G                    Em
of wine and whiskey and then a chase
    C                D
I accepted her offer with good grace
    G                   Em
But I didn't understand what she meant
     C                  D
When she said she didn't want to pretend
      G          Em   C  D
to play Scrabble

[Verse 2]

      G                Em
Well, she got out that Scrabble board
    C              D
and all her signals I ignored
    G                 Em
and when she got that triple word score
C                  D
I was impressed but she was bored
    G                   Em
But I didn't understand what she said
    C                D
And I didn't know how to defend
 G          Em   C  D
my honour

[Chorus 1]

E|-------| It's amazing
 Bm C D
E|-------| What you can miss
 Bm C D
E|-------| When you treat love
Bm     C      D   G
like a game of chess

[Verse 3]

    G              Em
The wine was going to my head
    C            D
But I was holding X, Y and Z
   G           Em
So I was truly disappointed
     C                    D
When she said 'Honey, it's time for bed'
     G              Em
Well I know that it could have been worse
    C                   D
But I wished we finished the game first
 G     Em   C  D
Oh well

[Chorus 2]

 Bm C D
E|-------| It's amazing
 Bm C D
E|-------| What you can miss
 Bm C D
E|-------| When you treat love
Bm     C      D   G
like a game of chess
