INTROD: Am7 D7/9 Am7 D7/9
G D#7+ D7 Am7
Seems I've played the game for much too long
G# G4 G F#º
I let people buy my love and I
Fm7 E7/5+ G#º Am7 D7/9 Am7 D7/9
Never got to sing my songs for you.
G D#7+ D7 Am7
I had all my bets laid all on you
G# G4 G F#º
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
Fm7 E7/5+ G#º Am7 D7/9
In the game of love you pay your dues.
C7+ E4 Bm7 F7+
Say that happiness cannot be measured,
E7/5+ G#º C/G F5-/6 E4/7 C7+ G#m/5+
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures.
D5-/7/9 C#m7/5-
What a joke.
Chorus
Am7 F#m7/5- B7 Em D7/9
I was not your woman, I was not your friend,
C7+ D4 Em Am7 B7
But you gave me something to remember.
B7/D# C7+ Em
No other man said love yourself
G9 Am7
Nobody else can.
F#m7/5-
We weren't meant to be,
B7 Em D7/9
At least not in this lifetime,
C7+ D4 Em Am7 B7
But you gave me something to remember.
B7/D# Em
I hear you still say, "Love yourself".
G D#7+ D7 Am7
I had all my bets laid all on you
G# G4 G F#º
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
Fm7 E7/5+ G#º Am D7/9
In the game of love I've paid my dues.
C7+ E4 Bm7 F7+
Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,
E7/5+ G#º C/G F5-/6 E4/7 C7+ G#m/5+
Wish I had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather.
D5-/7/9 C#m7/5-
What a shame, who's to blame?
