Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Oh the games [G]that
people play [Em]now
Every night [Am]and every day n[D]ow
Never meanin' what they
[C]say [E]now[Am][D]
Never sayin' what they [G]mean
And they while [C]away the [G]hours
In their ivory tower[D]s
Till they're covered up with [C]flowers
[D]In the black lim[G]ousine
La -da -da -da -da -da -da -da
La -da -da -da -da -da [D]-da -dee
I'm a -talkin' about [C]you and me
[D]In the games that people [G]play
Well, we make one another cry
Break a heart and then we [D]say goodbye
Cross our hearts and then we [C]hope to die
[D]That the other was to [G]blame
Neither one will ever give in
So we gaze at an [D]eight -by -ten
Thinking about the things
that [C]might have been
[D]Well, it's a dirty rotten [G]shame
La -da -da -da -da -da -da -da
La -da -da -da -da -da [D]-da -da
I'm a -talkin' about [C]you and me
[D]At the gate the people [G]play
[C][G][C][G][C][D][C][D]
[G]
[C]Peo[G]ple walkin' up to ya
Singin' glory hallelu[D]jah
And then they really sock it [C]to you
[D]In the name of the [G]Lord
They're gonna teach you
how to meditate
Read your horoscope and [D]cheat your fate
And furthermore to [C]hell with hate
[D]Come on and get on [G]board
La -da -da -da -da -da -da -da
La -da -da -da -da -da [D]-da -da -dee
I've been talking about [C]you and me
[D]In the games that people [G]play
Look around and tell me what you see
What's a -happening to [D]you and me
God grant me [C]serenity
[D]I do remember who I a[G]m[C]
[G]Cause you've given up serenity
For your pride [D]and your vanity
Turn your back on hu[C]manity
An[D]d you don't give a d[G]a -da -da
La -da -da -da [C]-da -da [G]-da
La -da -da -da -da -da [D]-da -da
La da da da da [C]da...
