Verse 1

[Bmaj7] Clever girl, you [Dmaj7]fooled me once again
[Bmaj7] Clever girl, seems I [Dmaj7]can't remember when
There [F#m7]was a time I didn't [Emaj7]have you on my mind
But that [F#m7]heart of mine made me think the [Emaj7]winnin' card was mine
Now I [G#m7]start to understand I must be [F#maj7]just part of your plan
[G#m7] Must be part of your plan, girl
Just must be part of your [G#m7]plan

Verse 2

[Bmaj7] Clever girl, you [Dmaj7]got me on the run
[Bmaj7] Clever girl, this time [Dmaj7]lovin' ain't no fun
I [F#m7]knew right from the start that only [Emaj7]you could touch my heart
The [F#m7]way you move my soul, girl, you [Emaj7]have complete control
But [G#m7]now the time has come for me to [F#maj7]deal the final hand
[G#m7] Gonna call your bluff, girl
Just got to show you my [G#m7]stuff

Bridge

[D#m7] Soon the game will come [Emaj7]to an end
And [D#m7]there'll be nothin' left for you to [Emaj7]do except [Em7]pretend

Verse 3

You're a [Bmaj7]clever girl, in the [Dmaj7]game you will remain
Oh, but [Bmaj7]clever girl, things will[Dmaj7] never be the same
[F#m7]You just keep on runnin', there'll [Emaj7]be no place to go
After [F#m7]all your friends have vanished, you will [Emaj7]find yourself alone
Maybe [G#m7]then you'll realize you weren't so [F#maj7]clever after all
[G#m7] You're headed for a fall, girl
Then you'll have no one at [G#m7]all
