[Verse 1:]
G
Oh the games people play now
D
Every night and every day now
C
Never meaning what they say now
D G
Never saying what they mean
G
While they while away the hours
D
In their ivory towers
C
Till they're covered up with flowers
D G
In the back of a black limousine
[Chorus:]
G
La-da da da da da da
D
La-da da da da da da dee
C
Talking 'bout you and me
D G
And the games people play now
[Verse 2:]
G
Oh we make one another cry
D
Break a heart then we say goodbye
C
Cross our hearts and we hope to die
D G
That the other was to blame
G
Neither one will give in
D
So we gaze at an eight by ten
C
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
D G
and it's a dirty rotten shame
[Chorus:]
G
La-da da da da da da
D
La-da da da da da da dee
C
Talking 'bout you and me
D G
And the games people play now
[Verse 3:]
G
People walking up to you
D
Singing "Glory hallelulia!"
C
And they're tryin to sock it to you
D G
In the name of the Lord
G
They're gonna teach you how to meditate
D
Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
C
And further more to hell with hate
D G
Come on and get on board
[Chorus:]
G
La-da da da da da da
D
La-da da da da da da dee
C
Talking 'bout you and me
D G
And the games people play now
[Verse 4:]
G
Look around tell me what you see
D
What's happening to you and me
C
God grant me the serenity
D G
To remember who I am
G
Cause you've given up your sanity
D
For your pride and your vanity
C
Turn your back on humanity
D G
And you don't give a da da da da da
[Chorus:]
G
La-da da da da da da
D
La-da da da da da da dee
C
Talking 'bout you and me
D G
And the games people play now
