The Game Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bb]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I watch the [D]game
Aware of tricks
I do not want to [Bb]see
I do not [D]want to see
A card is palmed
The bets are placed
The loaded dice make [Bb]three
And no one [D]sees but [Bb]me
Does no one [D]see but me?

[Verse 2]
[D]
The roulette wheel
Goes round and round
And stops a bit too [Bb]short
It's made to [D]stop too short
[Bb]It's built to stop too s[D]hort
The chips are down
The croupier laughs
And calls a cheated player sport
He laughs and [Bb]calls him sport
And the sport [D]laughs with [Bb]him
The sport [D]laughs with him
[Dsus4][D][Gm]
There are no clocks
Upon the gilded walls
The drapes are drawn
In everlasting [Cm]night
"We never close"
The neon light
Blinks at [Gm]the sky
"We run an honest house"
The advertisements [Cm]lie
For i have chanced to glimpse
Behind the imitation
Antique mirror
And i have seen the pupil
Of the boss's
Spying eye
[Gm]

[Verse 3]
[Dm]
Pontius pilate's soldiers
Gambled at the bottom of the cross
[A]Even his ragged robe was lost
So would you kinda care
To tell me boss
What chance have we?
What chance have we?
Would you kinda care
To tell me [Dm]boss?

[Interlude 1]
[D][Dm][D][Gm][Cm][Gm][D]

[Verse 4]
I watch the [D]game
And if i play
I know i'll go for [Bb]broke
It must be [D]go for broke
The game is fixed
It's just a
Funny
Foolish
Never ending [Bb]joke
A never [D]ending joke
[Bb][D]

[Verse 5]
The dealer winks
And beckons
With a toothless
Taunting [Bb]grin[D][Bb]
I know i [D]cannot [Bb]win
The game is [D]fixed
[Bb]Okay all [D]right
[Bb]Okay all [D]right
[Bb]Okay all [D]right
God damn it
Deal
Me

[Outro 1]
In.
