Tom: D
D A G A7 D
[Verse 1]
D A
Oh, the games people play now, every night and every day now;
G A7 D
never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean.
D A
While they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
G A7 D
'till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine.
[Chorus]
D A
La-da da da da da da da, la-da da da da da de;
G A7 D
talking 'bout you and me and the games people play.
[Verse 2]
D A
Oh, we make one another cry, break a heart then we say goodbye,
G A7 D
cross our hearts and we hope to die, that the other was to blame.
D A
Neither one will ever give in, so we gaze at our eight by ten,
G A7 D
thinking 'bout the things that might have been, it's a dirty rotten shame.
[Interlude]
D A G A7 D
[Verse 3]
D A
People walking up to you, shoutingglory hallelulia,
G A7 D
and they're tryin to sock it to you, in the name of the Lord.
D A
They're gonna teach you how to meditate, read your horoscope, cheat your faith,
G A7 D
and further more to hell with hate, come on and get on board.
[Chorus]
D A
La-da da da da da da da, la-da da da da da de;
G A7 D
Talking 'bout you and me and the games people play.
[Verse 4]
D A
Look around tell me what you see, what's happening to you and me,
G A7 D
God grant me the serenity, to remember who I am.
D A
'Cause you've given up your sanity, for your pride and your vanity,
G A7 D
turn your back on humanity and you don't give a da da da da da.
[Chorus]
D A
La-da da da da da da da, la-da da da da da de;
G A7 D
Talking 'bout you and me and the games people play.
