Games People Play

D       A       G  A7    D

[Verse 1]
                     D                               A
Oh, the games people play now, every night and every day now;
                        G        A7                       D
never meaning what they say now,   never saying what they mean.
                         D                    A
While they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
                              G          A7                       D
'till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine.

[Chorus]
            D                        A
La-da da da da da da da, la-da da da da da de;
              G          A7                     D
talking 'bout you and me   and the games people play.

[Verse 2]
                  D                                A
Oh, we make one another cry, break a heart then we say goodbye,
                        G            A7                      D
cross our hearts and we hope to die,   that the other was to blame.
                      D                          A
Neither one will ever give in, so we gaze at our eight by ten,
                               G                A7                    D
thinking 'bout the things that might have been,   it's a dirty rotten shame.

[Interlude]
D       A       G  A7    D

[Verse 3]
                  D                          A
People walking up to you, shoutingglory hallelulia,
                             G       A7                   D
and they're tryin to sock it to you,   in the name of the Lord.
                               D                              A
They're gonna teach you how to meditate, read your horoscope, cheat your faith,
                    G               A7                   D
and further more to hell with hate,   come on and get on board.

[Chorus]
            D                        A
La-da da da da da da da, la-da da da da da de;
              G          A7                     D
Talking 'bout you and me   and the games people play.

[Verse 4]
                    D                                 A
Look around tell me what you see, what's happening to you and me,
                   G       A7                  D
God grant me the serenity,   to remember who I am.
                            D                               A
'Cause you've given up your sanity, for your pride and your vanity,
                    G      A7                     D
turn your back on humanity   and you don't give a da da da da da.

[Chorus]
            D                        A
La-da da da da da da da, la-da da da da da de;
              G          A7                     D
Talking 'bout you and me   and the games people play.
