          DmDm
 So here I am once more
              Bb majorBb  C majorC
 In the playground of the broken hearts
       G minorGm        FF
 One more experience, one more entry
    E minorEm     DmDm
 In a diary, self penned
            Bb majorBb C majorC
 Yet another emotional suicide
        A augmentedA        DmDm
 Overdosed on sentiments and pride

C minorCm         G+G
 Too late to say I love you
   C minorCm          G+G
 Too late to restage the play
  C minorCm      G+G
 Abandoning the relics
     D MajorD         G+G
 In my playground of yesterday

D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm
D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm

   D MajorD       A augmentedA
 I'm losing on the swings
   F# minorF#m      B minorBm
 I'm losing on the roundabouts
   D MajorD       A augmentedA
 I'm losing on the swings
   F# minorF#m      B minorBm
 I'm losing on the roundabouts
 D MajorD          A augmentedA
 Too much, too soon, too far to go         (play D MajorD then on the drums A-F#m then B minorBm)
 F# minorF#m      B minorBm      D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm
 Too late to play the game is over
       D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m B minorBm
 The game is over

A augmentedA D MajorD B minorBm F# minorF#m A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA B minorBm
G+G   A augmentedA B minorBm    G+G

 A augmentedA B minorBm         G+G
 So here I am once more
            A augmentedA  B minorBm     G+G
 In the playground of the broken hearts
 A augmentedA  B minorBm         G+G
 I'm losing on the swings
         A augmentedA B minorBm     G+G
 I'm losing on the roundabouts
     A augmentedA B minorBm        G+G  B minorBm  G+G  B minorBm  G+G  B minorBm  G+G
 The game is over, over, over...

 B minorBm        G+G
 Yet another emotional suicide
A augmentedA B minorBm         G+G
 Overdosed on sentiments and pride
 A augmentedA  B minorBm         G+G
 I'm losing on the swings
         A augmentedA B minorBm     G+G
 I'm losing on the roundabouts
     A augmentedA B minorBm  G+G  A augmentedA B minorBm   G+G  A augmentedA B minorBm   G+G  A augmentedA B minorBm   G+G
 The game is over

 A augmentedA  B minorBm       G+G
 Too late to say, "I love you"
 A augmentedA  B minorBm          G+G
 Too late to restage the play
       E minorEm
 The game is over

E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA F# minorF#m
E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA F# minorF#m

  E minorEm    B minorBm    A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
 I act the role in classic style
    E minorEm   B minorBm      A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
 Of a martyr carved with twisted smile
   E minorEm    B minorBm  A augmentedA      F# minorF#m
 To bleed the lyric for this song
   E minorEm    B minorBm    A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
 To write the rights to right my wrongs
  A augmentedA  G+G     FF     G+G
 An epitaph to a broken dream
  A augmentedA  G+G     FF      G+G
 To exercise this silent scream
   E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA    F# minorF#m    E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA F# minorF#m
 A augmentedA scream  that's born from sorrow

E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA F# minorF#m
E minorEm B minorBm A augmentedA F# minorF#m

  E minorEm     B minorBm    A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
 I never did write that love song
   E minorEm     B minorBm        A augmentedA F# minorF#m
 The words just never seemed to flow
   E minorEm    B minorBm      A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
 Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection
    E minorEm     B minorBm      A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
 And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
    A augmentedA      G+G      FF         G+G
 And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
      A augmentedA       G+G FF     G+G      A augmentedA       F#F#     E MajorE  BB
 Promised wedding now awake, promised wedding now awake, awake, awake, awake,

AbmAbm A augmentedA F# minorF#m BB

   AbmAbm                 A augmentedA
 The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry
 F# minorF#m               BB
 Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why
     AbmAbm                    A augmentedA
 As you grow up and leave the playground where you kissed your prince and found your frog
F# minorF#m                  BB
 Remember the jester that showed you tears
         AbmAbm A augmentedA F# minorF#m BB
 The script for tears

     AbmAbm              A augmentedA
 So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
     F# minorF#m                BB
 In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
      AbmAbm   A augmentedA
 Has gone solo in the game
      F# minorF#m     BB
 I've gone solo in the game  <----(at the F# minorF#m here you can play the bass notes D MajorD C#C# F#F# to get a correct sound)
         AbmAbm A augmentedA F# minorF#m BB
 But the game is over

      AbmAbm
 Can you still say you love me?
      A augmentedA
 Can you still say you love me?
      F# minorF#m        BB
 Can you still say that you love me?
     AbmAbm
 Do you love me, do you love me?
     A augmentedA
 Do you love me, do you love me?
     F# minorF#m         BB
 Do you love me just as you did  <-----(same here)

      AbmAbm
 Can you still say you love me?
      A augmentedA
 Can you still say you love me?
      F# minorF#m        BB
 Can you still say that you love me?
     AbmAbm     A augmentedA  F# minorF#m  BB  AbmAbm
 Just as did, just as did
     A augmentedA        F# minorF#m           BB  AbmAbm  A augmentedA ...
