🎵 Lyrics
I'm rooked at love again
This pawn has no fight
My Queen was on the board
Now she's taken by a Knight
There's one move left for me
And that is to accept my fate
Checkmate
You know I'm a square
But not black or white
I was counting on my Bishop
To make everything all right
When love travels sideways
The heart cannot wait
Checkmate
Bridge G-F#-F-E
Repeat Verses
