VERSE:
G
Oh, the games people play now,
D
Every night and every day now
C
Never meaning what they say now,
D7 G
Never saying what they mean
VERSE:
G
While they wile away the hours,

In their ivory towers
C
'Til they're covered up with flowers,
D7 G
In the back of a black limousine, woah-ah
CHORUS:

La da da da da da da
D
La da da da da da de
C
Talking 'bout you and me,
D7 G
And the games people play now
VERSE:
G
Oh, we make one another cry,
D
Break a heart then we say goodbye
C
Cross our hearts and we hope to die,
D7 G
That the other was to blame, woah-ah
VERSE:
G
Neither one will ever give in,
D
So we gaze at our eight by ten
C
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been,
D7 G
And it's a dirty rotten shame, woah-ah
