[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 1]
Time after [G]time[Gaug]
I've turned it [G]over [Am]in my mi[C]nd
How could [G]you let [C]it [G]go so [D]long?[G]
I had it [Gaug]all, I felt the spark
[G]but not the fla[C]me
[G]And with a cold wind it's gone
[D]

[Verse 2]
[Em]
I had the fu[Gaug]ture in my han[G]d
I didn't un[A]derstand

[Verse 3]
Chorus: When [Am]the
only game [D]in town
[Bm]was tear[C]ing you [D]down
[Bm]And the [G]love t[D]hat I found [B]slipped [Em]away[D]
[G]Now the [Am]real king [D]of fools
[G]has [C]no one to [D]rule
[Bm]And [G]nothing [Dsus4]to lose,[D]
much less [Ebdim]to say[Em][Gaug]
I should have [G]never, never [A]played
The [C]only game in town

[Interlude 1]
[G][Gaug][C][D][G]

[Verse 4]
I need to [G]talk with [Gaug]the
[G]only girl who knows
[Gaug]All of t[G]he b[C]ig
[G]mistakes I've [D]made[Em]
I held the mo[Gaug]ment in my ha[G]nd
I didn't un[A]derstand
[Am]Chorus[D]

[Bm][C][D][Bm][G][D][Em][D][G][Am]
[D][Bm][C]
[D][Bm][G][D][Ebdim][Em][Gaug][G][A]
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 5]
I'll pay the [Am]price for fooling
[Em]around[Gsus4][Am]
I'll never find a love in [Em]this
[Gsus4]town
[Am]Should've [D]never let[Bm] you go[C][D][Bm]
[D][G][C][D][Ebdim][Em]

[Verse 6]
[G][D][G]
When the [Am]only game [D]in town
[Bm]was [C]tearing you [D]down
[Bm]And [G]the love t[D]hat I found
slipped [Em]away[Gaug]
I should have nev[G]er, never [A]played
The [C]only [Am]game [D]in town
[Bm]It w[C]as tearing me do[D]wn
[Bm]And [G]the love that [D]I found
slipped [Em]away[G]
Now the [Am]real king [D]of [Bm]fools [G]has
[C]nothing to [D]cho[Bm]se[G]
Noth[C]ing [D]to lose,
much less [Em]to say[D][G]
[Am]Only [D]game in [G]tow[C]n[D]
Tearing [Bm]me d[D]own, playing
