Game Theory was a power pop band which formed in 1982 in Sacremento, California, United States. The band's only constant member was singer and songwriter Scott Miller (vocals, guitar) who led the band through two major lineup changes before he disbanded the group in 1990.
During its career, the band released five full length albums: "Blaze of Glory" (1982), "Real Nighttime" (1985), "The Big Shot Chronicles" (1986), "Lolita Nation" (1987) and "Two Steps from the Middle Ages" (1988). A sixth, "Supercalifragile" was issued in 2017.

Together Now, Very Minor By Game Theory c. 1987 Lolita Nation album Chorded out by Andrew Otwell for Loud-Fans list
This songis a bit of a pain to show visually because of Scott's sort of idiosyncratic vocal timing, so get the chords down (very easy) and fool with the rhythym a bit. Keep in mind that the guitar rhythym is pretty much the same through the whole thing, which gives it that feel. :-)
Chords are bracketed.
(Main/Intro chord progression is F#-B-E-C#)
