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?"
A           D
 "Oh, forget it" he says
A        D
 "I'm a jealous man
Dm
 And I don't want to talk about that"
 
Chorus:
A                 D
 You used to tell me that
A              D
 Love is a lottery but
A              D
 you got your numbers
 
 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
Dm
 Are you still betting on me?
 
Bridge:
E
Hold on, my dear
             Bm
Hold on real tight
 
It's just a numbers game
         E
In my mind
                                 Bm
And we've been here a thousand times

A thousand times

A thousand...
 
Chorus:

 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

A               D
 you got your numbers
D
 And you're betting on me
A            D
