Victim Of The Game

INTRO: C   F   C   F

   C
It took a little time
      F
But I guess you finally learned
   C    ~           Am
Of promises getting broken
    Dm7            G
And bridges do get burned
            C                   C6
You've been sifting through the ashes
    E7                F
Just trying to find a flame
        G     C
Holding on to nothing
         G             C      G
You're a victim of the game


         C
You were standing way too close
   F
To see it fall apart
           C          ~          Am
There were things you couldn't hear
               Dm7                    G
'Cause you were listening with your heart
          C            C6
You can't say I didn't warn you
           E7              F
Now there's no one else to blame
               G          C
There's no one quite as blind
     G             C      G
As a victim of the game


CHORUS:
             F      Bb       F
And it don't matter who you are
          C     Bb     A     A7  Dm
It treats everyone the same
     F                 G
When all you need's a heart
        F       G      C       F
To be a victim of the game


              C
You know it's really getting to you
         F
When you take to telling lies
        C      ~         Am
You can try to fool your friends
              Dm7                 G
But you can't look 'em in the eye
      C                  C6
There ain't no standing tall
      E7             F
In the shadow of the shame
     G           C
When everybody knows
              G             C      G
That you're a victim of the game


CHORUS:
         F      Bb       F
It don't matter who you are
          C     Bb     A     A7  Dm
It treats everyone the same
     F                  G
When all you need's a heart
        F       G      C
To be a victim of the game



When I look into your eyes
     E7               F
I can really feel the pain
        G         C
Staring in the mirror
     G             C
At a victim of the game
