verse 1
Em
Here we go again, it's the game we love
C
Sheets all over the floor and they laced with drugs
G
You ain't play your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs
Am
Hit you with the Ace of Spades and your face is shrugged
Em
Blood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs
C
We was just planning a wedding, Caucasian doves
G
You was just tellin' your mans, that you hate the clubs
Am
Now we in the crying game, heart laced with slugs
Bridge
Em C
Are you alone? Do you need someone?
G Am
Is it too late to talk? Did I wait too long?
Em C
Thousand words, don't change a thing
G Am
Is it only three? Three words that you're missing?
Pre-Chorus
Em
Where did you go? Couldn't see
C
I was too busy
G
Could've just said no
Am
Where would you go? I think I know
Chorus
C Am
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
Em
We're back to playing
G D
We're back to playing
C Am
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
Em
We're back to playing
G D
The crying game
Post-Chorus
C
I could've given everything
Am
Don't wanna let the tears begin
Em
We're back to playing
G D
The crying game
C
I could've given everything
Am
Don't wanna let the tears begin
Em
We're back to playing
G D
The crying game
verse 2
Em
Welcome to the crying game where you lose your soul
C
Where it ain't no easy cash, you got to use the toll
G
Ain't no cruise control, you 'bout to lose control
Am
Ain't no smilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes
Em
Sayin' we don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious
C
Sayin' that we had enough, but enough of what?
G
Another slap to the face, another uppercut
Am
I'm just abusive by nature, not cause I hate ya
Em
Not cause I wanna get someone to imitate ya
C
I know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya
G
But is you stayin' or goin'?
Am
I couldn't breathe and you ain't even know it
Em
How come you never show it?
C
All this love you speak of
G
All I want is to love and be loved
Am
(To love and be loved)
Bridge 2
Em C
I'm losin' a thing I thought I'd win
G
And I'm coming undone
Am
Cause the tears don't end
Pre-Chorus
Em
Where did you go? Couldn't see
C
I was too busy
G
Could've just said no
Am
Where would you go? I think I know
Chorus
C Am
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
Em
We're back to playing
G D
We're back to playing
C Am
Who-o-o-o-o-o, who-o-o-o-o-o
Em
We're back to playing
G D
The crying game
Post-Chorus
C
I could've given everything
Am
Don't wanna let the tears begin
Em
We're back to playing
G D
The crying game
C
I could've given everything
Am
Don't wanna let the tears begin
Em
We're back to playing
G D
The crying game
