Intro: A D A D Verse 1: A D A D I was 19 and you were 23 A D We stayed in Number 4 Ferdinand Street A D A D We spent five talking about our lives A D A D But we'd talked like that about a thousand times Dm And I'm bored of all that Chorus: A D You used to tell me that A D Love is a lottery and A D you got your numbers D And you're betting on me A D You used to say that A D Love is a game but A D you got your numbers D And you're betting on me Verse 2: A D I'll tell you about a guy A D That I've been with A D And you ask "How old is he?" A D And I laugh "26 No A D He’s thirty A D How messed up is that?"

Chorus: A D You used to tell me that A D Love is a lottery but A D you got your numbers D And you're betting on me A D You used to say that A D Love is a game but A D you got your numbers D And you'll play it anyway A D You used to tell me that A D Love is a lottery but A D you got your numbers D And you're betting on me A D You used to tell me that A D Love is a lottery but A D You got your numbers D And you're betting on me Dm Are you still betting on me?
Me and my cousins made a music video to this a VERY long time ago (and by very I mean like 3-4 years which is a long tome when your only 13) and I just starting playing the uke a year ago and I wanted to see if I could learn to play it and I could! I’m going to play it for my cousins that I made the music video with. Thanks!!!
As much as I like the regular version, I really like the minor cover, so when I played I just changed the major notes to their minor counter parts.
This also sounds cool if you do C7 instead of C 🙂
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS IS AMAZING. THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG
Transposing the song to (-5) is the easiest.
