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,
A B/D# E C#m7
She's out again tonight, And I'm alone once more,
D Bm7 Bm7-5 C#m7 F#m
She's all I have worth waiting for,
B/D# Bm7 E
but baby plays around.
A A/G D/F# Dm/F
And so it seems I've always been the last to know,
A B/D# E C#m7
To hold on to that girl, I had to let her go.
D/F# Dm/F C#m7 F#m
I wish to God I didn't love her so,
B/D# E11 A
'Cause baby plays around.
A/G D/F# A7/E D C#m7-5
I try to be strong, hold on to my pride.
Em7 A7 D
She doesn't even know it's wrong,
D#^o F^o
how much I hurt inside.
F#m
And heaven knows I've tried but
Bm7 Dm Esus F^o
baby plays around, just a play thing.
E7
Its hard to reconcile the facts I'm facing.
A A7 D Dsus
It's not open to discussion anymore,
A B/D# E C#m7
She walk's those shiny streets, I walk the worn out floor.
D Bm7 Bm7-5 C#m7 F#m
She's all I have worth living for,
B/D# F6 D Fmaj7 F7
Baby plays, baby plays around
