Crying Game chords by Cady Groves

Standard tuning.

F       C
Woke up to snow, it?s Christmas again
F                 C
But you?re still not home, got thrown in the pen
F           C
And I?m 6 years old, sitting here thinking
 Am         Dm              C
?why am I always alone??

F          C   G
So I watch my mama from the back of the van
F             C    G
As she drove along and having 7 kids
F     C         G
Must have been hard but daddy couldn?t
Am        F         C
stay out of the bar

          F     C
It?s a crying game
G               C          F          C
Seeing him in prison on Christmas day
G                     F      C
20 years later still such a shame
     G                         Am  F
To have a broken heart at such a young age
G            Am F      G
But now it?s all the same
        F      G
It?s a crying game

F   C         G
I missed the call and woke up to find
F      C          G
My brother was gone that?s when I lost my mind
F       C    G
At 18 years old wondering how
Am         F          G
life could be so cold

F            C    G
But we came together like never before
F            C         G
All my brothers and sisters kept mama at shore
F          C       G
Till we lost another, it?s hard to know just
Am        F        G
what to think no more

        F       C
It?s a crying game
G                          F            C
To have to put my brothers in their graves
G                            F         C
Life ain?t perfect but it?s such a shame
      G                            Am   F       G
They left behind the stories that they never made
          F        G
Now it?s all the same
        Am F    G
It?s a crying game

F        Dm         F
Living, loving gets me through the pain
C                          G
Don?t take for granted a soul or a day
Dm                           F
Given where I?m going it?s crazy to think that
C                               G
There?s a million other people out there playing

    F    C
A crying game
G                       F          C
There?s no winning, and no one to blame
G                        F    C
Life is fragile and can slip away
      G
And lemme tell you when it does
Am     F      G
it?s such a shame
            F      G
But it?s all the same
         F
