[E]
[A] [E] For the games people play now
Every night [B] and every day now
Never [E] meaning what they [A] see now
And [B] never saying [E] what they mean
For the [A] wild [E] rainy hours
In their [B] ivory towers
And [E] they cover them with [A] flowers
In the [B] back of a black [E] limousine
La [A] da [E] da da da da
La da [B] da da da da
[E] Talking about [A] you and me
[B] In the games [E] people play
Well, I made one mother cry
We'll break [A] a heart [B] and we'll say goodbye
We'll [E] cross our hearts [A] and we'll hope to die
That [B] the other was to [E] blame
[A] Another one of [E] us will give in
[A] [B] Don't you know it's a sin
When [E] you think of things that [A] might have been
Well, [B] it's a goddamn [E] shame
La [A] da da [E] da da da
La da da [B] da da da
[E] Talking [A] about you and me
[B] In the games [E]
people play
People [A] walking [E] right up to you
Singing [B] glory, hallelujah
And [E] they try to suck [A] it to you
In [B] the name of [E] the Lord
[A] And they teach you [E] how to meditate
Read your horoscope [B] and seal your fate
And [E] it's almost to [A] hell with hate
[B] Come on brother, get [E] on board
La da da da da da
La da [B] da da da da
Talking [E] about [A] you [B] and me
In the games [E] people play
[B]

[E]
[B]
[E] [A] [B] So [E] look [A] around you, [E] tell me, what do you see?
[A] What's happening [B] to you and me?
God [E] gave us the [A] serenity
But he [B] said remember who [E] I am
[A] For you've thrown [E] away your sanity
For your pride [B] and your vanity
You [E] turned your back on [A] humanity
[B] And you [E] don't give a damn
La [A] da [E] da da da da
La da da da [B] da da
Talking [E]
about [A] you and [B] me
In the games [E] people play
La da da da da

Talking [E] about [Am] you [B] and me
In the games [E] people play

In the games [E] people play
