The Game Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C]
[F][C][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]A sense of duty
Was my one intention
And an [G]ugly beauty
Was my own [C]invention
Pride a proud refusal
And [G]I refuse
To need your approval
[C]Too many seekers
Too few [G]beacons
[C]But[G] through the fog
We'll keep on beaming

[Verse 2]
Through [F]the crying hours
Of your glitter [Em]years
[F]All the [C]living out
Of your tinsel tears
And the [F]midnight trains
I never made
'Cause I'd [C]already
[G]Played the game

[Interlude 1]
[C][G]
[C]

[Verse 3]
Everybody's Got [C]their
own good reason
Why their fa[G]vorite season
Is their favorite [C]season
Winter winners
And those summers sons
Aren't good for [G]everyone
Aren't good for everyone
[C]Spring has sprung
And autumns [G]well done
So well done

[Verse 4]
And it's a [F]better thing
That we do now
[Em]Forgetti[F]ng every[C]thing
The whys and how's
While you [F]reminisce
About the things you mis[Em]s
You [F]won't be [C]ready
To [G]kiss good[C]bye

[Interlude 2]
[D][G][C]
[D][G]

[Verse 5]
The earth is [C]a world
The world is a [D]ball
A ball in [G]a game
With no rules at all
And just as I won[C]der
At the beauty of it [D]all
You go and [G]drop it
And it breaks and falls

[Verse 6]
I'll never [F]understand
Why you thought I would
Need to [C]be reassured
And be under[G]stood
[C]When I [F]always knew
That your bad's my good
And I was [C]ready
[G]Ready to be loved

[Interlude 3]
[C][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 7]
Born under [C]mars
With Jupiter [G]rising
Fallen from [C]stars
That lit my [G]horizon

[Verse 8]
I'll never [F]understand
Why you thought I would
Need to [C]be reassured
And be understood
When I [F]always knew
That your bad's my good
And I was [C]ready
Ready to [G]be

[Verse 9]
Through [F]the crying hours
Of your glitter years
All [C]the living out
Of your tinsel tears
And [F]the midnight trains
I never made
'Cause I'd [C]already
[G]Played

[Verse 10]
It's a [F]better thing
That we do now
Forgetting [C]everything
The whys and how's
While you [F]reminisce
About the things you mis[C]s
You [F]won't be [C]ready
To [G]kiss [C]goodbye
