It was 1962 
          C                  F 
When my grandfather woke up in a hotel room 
     C               F 
In Charlottesville, Virginia 
   C                F 
A poster child of a post-war life 
    C                F 
And then he died in 95 
       C           F 
before I was even born 
C          F 
All the radiation 
            C                F 
must have shaken him to his core 
          Am 
Oh what a shame 
          G                 C     F 
Love the player, hate the game

My grandma played the lottery 
       C       F 
every Sunday afternoon 
     C           F 
She said it hasn't happened yet, 
              C            F 
but it might happen very soon 
    C        F 
In 43 the block got busted 
C          F 
in the firestorm 
      C                F 
They rolled up their sleeves and said, 
           C           F 
We better keep on keeping on'(there Is A Brief Rest Here) 
                    Am 
To her it felt the same 
           G                C    F 
Love the player, hate the game 

           Am 
           G               C    F 
Love The Player, hate The Game 

C               F 
Working at the trade fair 
              C                 F 
can make you lose your faith in God 
      C               F 
And when her husband died, the company 
C                  F 
dropped her on the spot 
C                   F 
When you grow up, you want to be 
  C                F 
a grave without a name 
            C              F 
Cause they told all the girls 
                  C          F 
you either are a burden or ashamed 
             Am 
And I dont blame you 
G                C   F 
         Am 
I don't blame you 
          G                C   F 
Love the player, hate the game

You could choose to love someone 
C   F 
C   F               C  F 
   Anytime you want 
     C               F 
But time is running fast 
      C                F 
Some say its running out 
      Am                   G 
So we burn it while we're young 
           C               F 
We got no intentions of slowing it down
