Poker Face
by Lady Gaga

Basically, there isnt a single correct version of this song up here yet. If you 
listen to the opening riff, the notes are as follows (Worked out on piano):

G#G#[H] - G#G#[L] - D#D# - G#G#[L] - G#G#[H] - EB - F#F#[H] - F#F#[L]

Couple this with her singing once you start and you see that the verse chords are:
G#m; B and F#. Previously everyone was using chorus chords for the verses. You 
might get away with this on guitar but it's still wrong. And judging by some of 
the youtube clips doesnt sound too good either.

Here is the correct version:

Bridge:
Use verse chords

I won't tell you that I love you
Kiss or hug you
Cause I'm bluffin' with my muffin
I'm not lying I'm just stunnin' with my love-glue-gunning
Just like a chick in the casino
Take your bank before I pay you out
I promise this, promise this
Check this hand cause I'm marvelous
