The Games We Play chords by The Hollies

Capo 2

Intro: C  Em  F  G  C  Em  F  G

        C                 G
Well, I heard your mother say
        F                   C
"What a pleasant boy you're going with"
                      G
That I don't mean any harm
      F            C
And I only want to play


         Em                 Am
Though I know she's just protecting you
       C
You're just a little girl
              Dm7         G                 C     Em  F  G
Well, if your mother only knew the games we play

       C                  G
When I take you home with me
        F           C
All the family get along with you
                    G
Sitting all through tea
          F                C
Wondering what we're gonna do


Em          Am
Leaving us alone
        C
The temptation's far too strong
        Dm7        G                 C      F  C
If your mommy only knew the games we play


Bridge:

Dm7                         G
Are you sure we're getting away with this?
    Am               F              C                Dm7
You cannot fool your mother or your father for long
               G
Only time will tell
   C                  G
If they are right and we are wrong

               G
Only time will tell
