Verso  1
           C                    Am
There's a game that's always played
       F            G
And always won by fools
     Em          F
But everyone I know
       C                       G
Would rather never play than lose

            C                    Am
There's a place where the innocent stand
    F                     G
Proud before the firing squad
            Em                      F
There's a church at the end of the path
           C                        G
Where the sign reads beware of the God


Ponte:
Am
And there's you in the alley
F
And there's me walking away
C
Those three words still hang in the air 
G
That I swore I would never say


Refrão (x2):
C
So hold on now, Just hold on a minute
F
This car's not leaving if you're not in it
Am
You've no idea how lucky we are
F
A would that deep would normally scar


Intro Riff (x1)


Verso  2
    C                                 Am
I heard there was a place where the light
F                           G
managed to cut through the dark
      Em               F
But that was just a story for children
         C                           G
And my chest is just a grave for my heart

           C                    Am
There's a phone that's always ringin'
F                        G
Answer, and a child will say
            Em          F
I'd rather take my own life
C               G
then give it away


Ponte:
Am
And there's you under the west way
F
for to hide from the rain
C
And I'm taking your picture
G
To be sure that I'll see you again


Refrão (x2)


           Am
But I've seen willows holding hands
        F
heard birds sing in harmony
        C
The bodies of water are caressed by land
          G
And the river's mouth is kissing the sea (alright!)


Sax Solo:

C  F  Am  F


Refrão (repeats and fades out)
