#1.
A E
Oh, the games people play, now, every night and every day, now.
D E A
Never meaning what they say, now, never sayin' what they mean.
A E
While they while away the hours, in their ivory towers..
D E
til they're covered up with flowers, in the back of a
A
black limousine, whoa-ah.
CHORUS:
A E
La da da da da da da da...la da da da da da da de..
D E A
Talking 'bout you and me, and the games people play, now.
#2.
A E
Oh, we make one another cry, break a heart then we say goodbye.
D E
Cross our hearts and we hope to die, that the other was
A
to blame, whoa-ah.
A E
But neither one will ever give in, so, we gaze at an eight by ten..
D E
thinking 'bout the things that might have been..and it's a
A
dirty rotten shame, whoa-ah.
CHORUS:
A E
La da da da da da da da...la da da da da da da de..
D E A
Talking 'bout you and me, and the games people play, now.

#3.
A E
Now, look here..people walking up to you..singing glory hallelujah..
D E A
and they're tryin' to sock it to you, in the name of the Lord.
A
They're gonna teach you how to meditate, read your horoscope,
E D
cheat your fate..and further more to hell with hate..
E A
come on, get on board, whoa-ah.
CHORUS:
A E
La da da da da da da da...la da da da da da da de..
D E A
Talking 'bout you and me, and the games people play, now.
#4.
A
Now, wait a minute, look around, tell me what you see..
E
What's happening to you and me?
D E A
God grant me the serenity..to just remember who I am, whoa-ah.
A E
Cause you've given up your sanity, for your pride and your vanity..
D E A
turn your back on humanity..oh, and you don't give a da da da da da.
CHORUS:
A E
La da da da da da da da...la da da da da da da de..
D E A
Talking 'bout you and me, and the games people play, now.
OUTRO:

La da da da da da da da...la da da da da da da de..
D E A
Talking 'bout you and me, and the games people play, now.
A
I wonder, can you come out and play??? (Fade.)
