Hmm, despite this being a no. 2 UK hit single in 1976, UG's database doesn't know about
Janet Kay and so I have to include her URL... http://www.janetkay.com/
I was really surprised to find that nowhere has the chords for this wonderful lovers'
rock song from 1976. So here's how I hear them:
Intro: Fm, Bb
F
I’ve been wanting you
Fmaj7 F7
For so long, it’s a shame
Bb
Oh, baby Every time I
Bbm F
hear your name, Oh, the pain
C F
Boy, how it hurts me inside
F
‘Cause every time we meet
Fmaj7
We play hide and seek
F7 Bb
I’m wondering what I should do
Bbm
Should I, dear, come up to you
F
And say, “How do you do?”
C C7
Would you turn me away
Ab
You’re as much to blame
Abmaj7
‘Cause I know you feel the same
C Dm
I can see it in your eyes
Bb C F Dm
But I’ve got no time to live this life
Bb C Fm
No, I’ve got no time to play your silly games
Bb Fm Bb
Silly games
Yet, in my mind I say
“If he makes his move today
I’ll just pretend to be shy”
Oh, baby
It’s a tragedy
That you and me
We don’t even try
You’re as much to blame
‘Cause I know you feel the same
I can see it in your eyes
But I’ve got no time to live this life
No, I’ve got no time to play your silly games
Silly games
