[Verse 1: Jack Ingram]
Am I just a pawn in your game
Another face in the frame
You had me thinking that I was good enough
For you, oh
But I'm just chasing your ghost
A firefly at most
You change your mind, again and again
Explain your thoughts to a friend
[Chorus]
You left me waiting
For your next move
Your life's like checkers
Start playing chess
[Verse 2: Jack Ingram]
The time is ticking off the clock
And I left my door for you unlocked
You'd rather be in a place that I can't see
Explain yourself just you and me
But I'm just chasing your ghost
A firefly at most
You change your mind, again and again
Explain your thoughts to a friend
[Chorus]
You left me waiting
For your next move
Your life's like checkers
Start playing chess
Hey
[Outro]
You left me waiting
For your next move
Your life's like checkers
Start playing chess
