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.

It's not open to discussion anymore,
She's out again tonight, And I'm alone once more,
She's all I have worth waiting for,
but baby plays Around.
And so it seems I've always been the last to know,
To hold on to that girl, I had to let her go.
I wish to God I didn't love her so,
'Cause baby plays Around.
I try to be strong, hold on to my pride.
She doesn't even know it's wrong,
how much I [D#^o]hurt inside.[F^o]
And heaven knows I've tried but
baby plays around, just a play thing.[F^o]
Its hard to reconcile the facts I'm facing.
It's not open to discussion anymore,
She walk's those shiny streets, I walk the worn out floor.
She's all I have worth living for,
Baby plays, baby plays Around
