| E | E | E | B7 |
| Oh the games people | play now, every | night and every | day now |
| A | B7 | E |
Never meaning what they | say now, | never saying what they | mean |
| E | B7 |
And they wile away the | hours, in their i-vory | towers |
| B7 | A | B7 | E |
Till they're | covered up with | flowers in the | back of a black limou | sine |
| E | E |
| La-n-da dada | daa da da |
| E | B7 |
| La-n-da dada | daa da dee |
| A |
Talking 'bout | you and me |
| B7 | E |
And the | games people | play |
| E | B7 |
| Oh we make one another cry, break a heart, and then we | say goodbye |
| A | B7 | E |
Cross our hearts and we | hope to die, | that the other was to | blame |
| B7 |
Neither one will give in, so we gaze at an | eight by ten |
| A | B7 | E |
Thinking 'bout the things that | might have been, it's a | dirty rotten | shame |
| E | B7 |
| People walking up to you, singing glory | hallelujah |
| A | B7 | E |
And they're trying to sock it | to you, | in the name of the | Lord |
| B7 |
They're gonna teach you how to meditate, read your horoscope, | cheat your faith |
| A | B7 | E |
And furthermore to | hell with hate, | come on and get on | board |
| E | B7 |
| Look around, tell me what you see, what's a happening to | you and me |
| A | B7 | E |
God grant me the | serenity, | to remember who I | am |
| B7 |
Cause you've given up your sanity, for your pride and your | vanity |
| A | B7 | E |
Turn your back on hu | manity, | and you don't give a | damn |
