[Verso 1]
 
G                 D               C                G 
Back when we were kids, all those games we used to play 
C                    Em                  C                   Em 
King Of The Hill, or Hide and Seek, they always changed from week to week 
C              D      G 
Sometimes even day to day 
     G             D              C              G 
When one of us got tired, or just didn't want to play 
    C                 Em                 C                   Em 
Our fragile pride was always bruising, a game's not much fun when you're losing 
C           D      G 
All we ever had to say...was 
 


[Refrão]
 
       C          D        G              {EM} 
I give up, I give in, I've had enough you win 
C             Em            C             D 
I don't wanna play no more, I don't care about the score 
C                    D       Em        C              D      G 
Let's find something else to play, and save this for another day 
 


[Verso 2]
 
     G                D            C                 G 
Even though I'm older now, I can't help but think of how 
       C                   Em                 C                 Em 
Though different rules and different names, I find myself still playing games 
C                   D     G 
I guess some things never change 
   G             D             C                G 
No matter what I do, I can't escape the eyes of you 
C            Em              C                  Em 
I know I can never win, this losing game that's known as sin 
     C                D         G 
So I bow my head dear Lord, and say 
 


[Refrão]
 
       C          D        G              Em 
I give up, I give in, I've had enough you win 
C               Em              C               Em 
I don't want to play no more, because I finally know the score 
  C               D         Em    C           D      G 
I fall down on my knees and pray, let me try again today
