[Verse]
D G
Sitting in a cafe watching girls walk by
A Bm
watching the sun break through the cloudy autumn sky
A D G
I can't think of anyone, no power or desing
A Bm
Except to lie inside your loving arms, one more time
Em Bm
She said if we could live in Paradise, oh wouldn't that be nice
Em F#m Bm
But the name of the game is sacrifice, sacrifice
[Interlude]
A D Em G D
[Verse]
D G
Drink a cup of coffee buy a loaf of bread
A Bm
Try to do a little work to nullify my head
A D G
All I can acomplish like another grain of sand
A Bm
All be washed away by a wave of fate's hand
Em Bm
Try not to exagerate the pain of my life
Em F#m Bm
'cause the name of the game is sacrifice, sacrifice
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
Em Bm
On TV was a petty thief short by the police
Em Bm
He came to in Las Vegas in a penthouse suite
Em Bm
He had a magic butler who gave him all that he desired
Em F#m
A feast of wine and women til his passion were expired
Bm F#m
He couldn't understand how a crok like him
Bm F#m
Had died and gone the heaven when his life was full of sin
Bm F#m
But when he shot pool and every ball quickly fall
Em F#m
He saw his butler was the devil and his penthouse was in hel
[Interlude]

[Verse]
D G
Life goes round like a washing machine
A Bm
Maybe to live is getting dirty, maybe to die is getting clean
A D G
To win a war is just possible but the battle never ends
A Bm
Life and death and birth and love you feel all that you can
Em Bm
In the land of China everybody eating rice
Em F#m Bm
And Tiananmen square is just another sacrifice, sacrifice
Em F#m Bm Em F#m Bm Em F#m Bm
Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice
