Chords in this song

You're  gonna say  I told  you so
I  never should  have let  you go
Ain't  it funny  that here  we are
 The two  of us in two  different bars
In  separate cages  dancing  slow
We  ain't got nobody  to call  our own
You  can always  go  back home
 Well, you just  might be  there alone
I'm  drunk and you're insane
I  can't quit and you won't change
Ain't  no halfhearted romeo
Why  do you treat me so?
 Like our love's a joke
 It hurts too much to  laugh
 Can't you least smile
 When you call me that
Now,  days are harder  than you  would believe
I  ain't having luck  making  ends meet
If  time were money  then look  at me
 I'm richer  than a poor  man should be
Price  of admission is much too steep
For  broke uneducated clowns like me
It  may be true I was the first to leave
But  now I'm begging you please
 My heart's on my sleeve
 And I'm tipping my hat
 Can't you at least smile
 When you call me that
 Not much is certain but this much  is true
 My arms are useless if they don't  have you
 They hang around me with nothing  to do
 I'm hoping you and yours are lonesome  too
Neon's  buzzing  and here  I am
Last  one standing,  last  call again
While  you're unfolding  in a stranger's  hands
 I'll drink  up and be somebody's  man
Angels  can walk I've seen it before
They  turn handles and they open doors
They  act like devils, now you've been warned
They'll  vanish when love is war
 I'm down on my knees
 And you won't have me back
 But can't you at least  smile
 When you call me that
