Take it or leave it, I've heard it been said
E	      B			  A	       B
All this Spring fever's just way over my head
A			G#m	       A		B
Stealing my moments, taking up all my time
		A	B		A  E
It's playing Russian Roulette with my mind
		A	B		A  E

E		    B		          A	      E
It's none of my business baby, just what's going on
E		     B		         A	 	         B
I'm not going to wait till somebody throw me a bone
            A		 G#m	    A		      B
I'm way out on a limb now, and nothing seems to rhyme
		A	B		A  E
It's playing Russian Roulette with my mind
		A	B		A  E

E			  B	A			   E
I think that you've caught on, that you've been used and all
E		    B			    A	           B
I'm going down New Orleans, I've got to see Dr. John
A			G#m	         A	        B
Got my mojo working everything will be fine
	     	 A	  B	   	   A  E
Stop playing Russian Roulette with my mind

E		     B		     A		     E
It's not easy baby when everything starts getting out of control
E		      B		        A	 	B
Hang on to your hat now, hang on to your soul
A		   G#m		A	     B
Don't worry baby, I wanna throw you the line

They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
		A	B		A   E

E		   B	    A	         E
Too many hustlers, I've been here before
E		  B		  A	          B
None of them really know just who that you are
		A	    G#m	         A		   B
Everything gets contracted and space gets confined
		     A          B		        A  E
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind
		A	B		A   E

		     A	     B
They're playing Russian Roulette
		     A	     B
They're playing Russian Roulette
		     A	     B		         A  E
They're playing Russian Roulette with your mind

		     A	     B
They're playing Russian Roulette
		     A	     B

		     A	     B		         A  E
