Games People Play

D    A    G  A  D


[Verse 1]
                    D                               A
Oh the games people play now, every night and every day now
                        G      A                       D
Never meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean
                      D                    A
So they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
                             G              A                 D
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine


[Chorus]
                D                        A
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee
                 G         A                     D
I'm talkin' 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          A                        D
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other one's to blame
                         D                        A
Oh neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight by ten
                              G              A                        D
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten shame


[Chorus]
                D                        A
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee
                 G         A                     D
I'm talkin' bout you and me and the games people play

[Verse 3]
                  D                        A
People walkin' up to ya singing glory hallelujah
                               G     A                   D
Then 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 and cheat your fate
                   G             A                   D
And furthermore to hell with hate come on and get on board


[Chorus]
                D                        A
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee
                 G         A                     D
I'm talkin' bout you and me and the games people play


[Verse 4]
                        D                               A
Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and me
                   G     A                  D
God grand me the serenity to remember who I am
                           D                              A
Cause you've given up your sanity for your pride and your vanity
                    G     A                     D
Turn your back on humanity and you don't give a lot


[Chorus]
                D                        A
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee
                 G         A                     D
I'm talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
