The Game

Intro: F C F C  G C G

C
A sense of duty was my one intention
        G
And an ugly beauty was my own invention
C
Pride a proud refusal
        G
And i refuse to need your approval
C
Too many seekers too few beacons
G
But through the fog we'll keep on beaming
                F
Through the crying hours of your glitter years
                C
All the living out of your tinsel tears
                F
And the midnight trains i never made
                C
'cos i'd already
G               C               G
Played...the game
C
Everybody's got their own good reason
                G
Why their favorite season is their favorite season
C
Winter winners and those summers sons
                G
Aren't good for everyone
Aren't good for everyone
C                                               G
Spring has sprung and autumns well done so well done
                F
And it's a better thing that we do now
                C
Forgetting everything the whys and hows
                F
While you reminisce about the things you miss
                C
You won't be ready
        G       C
To kiss...goodbye

                C
The earth is a world
                D
The world is a ball
                G
A ball in a game with no rules at all
                C
And just as i wonder
                D
At the beauty of it all
                G
You go and drop it and it breaks and falls
                F
I'll never understand why you thought i would
        C
Need to be reassured and be understood
        F
When i always knew that your bad's my good
           C
And i was ready
G               C
Ready...to be loved
G       C       G

Born under mars with jupiter rising
                C               G
Fallen from stars that lit my horizon
                F
I'll never understand why you thought i would
                C
Need to be reassured and be understood
        F
When i always knew that your bad's my good
           C
And i was ready, 
G
Ready...to be
