Oh the games peo-ple play now,
5 5 5 -4 -4 4 -4 -4
ev-'ry night and ev-'ry day now

Nev-er mean-ing what they say now,
5 5 5 5 -4 4 4
nev-er say-ing what they mean
5 5 5 5 -4 4 4 4
And they while a-way the ho-urs

in their i-vo-ry tow-ers

Till they're cov-ered up with flow-ers

verse 2.
Oh we make one another cry,
breakin' hearts when we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die,
except the other was to blame
Either one will ever kill it,
so we gaze and we make pretend
Thinkin' 'bout things that might have been,
oh it's a dirty rotten shame
Chorus:
5 5 -4 4 4 4 4
La da da da da da da,
5 5 -4 4 -4 4 -4
la da da da da da dee
5 5 6 -6 6 -6
Talk-in''bout you and me,
5 5 5 -4 4 4
and the games peo-ple play
verse 3.
People walkin' up to ya,
singin' glory hallelujah
Sayin' what the hell's it to ya,
if we do it in the name of the Lord
We're gonna teach ya how to meditate
[Preach our hearts from teacher's faith]
Put them on a hell of hate,
come on, let's get on board
(chorus)
verse 4.
Look around, tell me what you see,
what's happening to you and me
Got burning my serenity,
to the neighborhood at hand
'Cos you're givin' up your sanity,
or your pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity,
oh,when you don't give a da,da,da,da,da
chorus-
