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


CHORUS:
G
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


CHORUS:
G
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


INSTRUMENTAL:

     G        D       C
Oh yeah, alright, oh yeah
     D7                                  G
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on

Let me hear it ...

VERSE:
 G
People walking up to you,
                   D
Singing glory hallelulia
                             C
And they're tryin to sock it to you,
D7                   G
 In the name of the Lord


VERSE:
  G
They're gonna teach you how to meditate,
                       D
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
                     C
And further more to hell with hate,
D7                  G
Come on and get on board, woah-ah


CHORUS:
G
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 wait a minute


VERSE:
 G
Look around tell me what you see,
                     D
What's happening to you and me
                    C
God grant me the serenity,
D7                      G
 To just remember who I am, woah-ah


VERSE:
  G
Cause you've given up your sanity,
                        D
For your pride and your vanity
                     C
Turn your back on humanity,
D7                       G
Oh, And you don't give a da da da da da


CHORUS:
G
La da da da da da da
            D

                        C
I keep a talking 'bout you and me brother
D7                    G
And the games people play, now, now


CHORUS:
G
La da da da da da da
            D
La da da da da da de
               C
Talking 'bout you and me,

Oh, and the games people play,
