[F#] [Bm] [G]
[Em] [C] I [F#] didn't notice [Bm] anything strange
[A] About the picture in [G] your picture frame
[Em] [C] It was drawn [F#] of a fountain [Bm] in your body
[A] Fought for a fiver most [Em] probably
[F#] Didn't mean a lot to me, a lot to [A] me
Tell me that you left selfish
That the artist [Em] himself was beneath it
[A] That life [Em] itself was within [Dm] this
And I looked for the sky to [G] worship the ground
And you never asked for [C] nothing at all
[G] Even asked the ones who [Am] clawed at your door
[Em] And you do your [Dm] best to uphold me
When I'm only a game
[G]
[C] Time [F#] will make fools [B] of us all
It's [A] time to find meaning [G] or control
[C] Every time [F#] we go out now
[Bm] You pretend, pretend [A] we're not at all for [E] just friends
[F#] And it gets to me, gets to [A] me
Tell me the meaning [Em] of life is
[A] To be happy and to [Em] give up love
[A] But you never asked for [Em] anything at all
[Dm] But I turned around
How could I be angry [G] at you?
When you never asked for nothing [C] at all
[G] Even asked the ones who clawed [Am] at your door
[Em] And you do your best [Dm] to uphold me
When [Em] I'm only a [Dm] game
When [Em] I'm only a [Dm] game
When I'm [G] only a game
When [C] I'm only a [F#] game
[Bm]
[A] [G] [Em] [C] When I'm only [F#] a game
[Bm] [A] When I'm only a game
[Em]
And [F#] it gets to me, gets to me
[A] Tell me the meaning [Em] of life is
[A] To be happy and to [Em] give up love
[A] But you never asked for anything [Em] at all
[Dm] But I turned around
How could I be angry [G] at you?
When you never asked [C] for nothing at all
But you [G] watched me to come in through [Am] the door
And [Em] performed your best as you [Dm] fought me
When [Em] I'm only a [Dm] game
[G] And you never asked for nothing [C] at all
