I
A
The clown came down to meet me
With a smile upon his face
G
He fired his starting pistol
F
and began the human race
A
There were faces all around me
They were running everywhere
G
But everywhere is nowhere
F G
And nowhere isn't there
Chorus:
C F
It's a game, a game,
G Am
a game that we're playing
F Dm G
Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules
C F
It's a game, a game,
G Am
a game that we're playing
F G G
Just a game for lovers and fools
II:
A
There's snakes upon your ladder
And there's dice upon your skirt
G
There's lipstick on my collar
F
And there's sweat upon my shirt
A
The neighbours will start talking
But you know that I don't care
G
For the neighbours they are nowhere
F G
And nowhere isn't there
Chorus:
C F
It's a game, a game,
G Am
a game that we're playing
F Dm G
Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules
Interlude:
C F C F
It's a gaaaaaaaame
C F G
Gaaame
Final Chorus(x2+Fading):
C F
It's a game, a game,
G Am
a game that we're playing
F Dm G
Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules
C F
It's a game, a game,
G Am
a game that we're playing
F Dm G
Well, I don't mind but I don't make the rules
