[Verse 1]
        C          C7                F                  F
I was a man with a world in his hand   but I dropped it
           G7                      C
A world of dreams a world of plans   but I dropped it
                    C7          F
It didn't lay there very long I turned around and it was gone

[Chorus]
           G
He took my girl, (he took my girl)

He put my world, (he put my world)
             C      F  C Dm
Right in his pocket

[Bridge]
        F                           C
All she wanted was my love and understanding
         D7                                            G
I didn't care enough I wasn't there enough and she got lonely

[Verse 2]
        C          C7                F
I was a man with a world in his hand   but I dropped it
           G7                     C
A world of dreams a world of plans  but I dropped it
                      C7                F              Dm
And good things don't just lay around neglected on the ground

[Chorus]
           G
He took my girl, (he took my girl)

He put my world, (he put my world)
             C      F  C  Dm
Right in his pocket

[Chorus]
           G
He took my girl, (he took my girl)

He put my world, (he put my world)
             C     F  C  Dm  C
Right in his pocket
