G                     D#7+       D7         Am7
Seems I've played the game for much too long
G#           G4      G       F#º
I let people buy my love and I
Fm7          E7/5+      G#º       Am7  D7/9  Am7  D7/9
Never got to sing my songs for you.
G            D#7+      D7        Am7
I had all my bets laid all on you
G#                  G4             G        F#º
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
Fm7            E7/5+    G#º        Am7   D7/9
In the game of love you pay your dues.
C7+           E4      Bm7      F7+
Say that happiness cannot be measured,
E7/5+ F#º    C/G         F6    E4/7            C7+    G#m/5+
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures.
D7(9/#11)    C#m7/5-
What a joke.

Refrão:
Am7            F#m7/5- B7             Em7     D7/9
I was not your woman,  I was not your friend,
        C7+     D4        Em   Am7     B7
But you gave me something to remember.
         B7/D#    C7+              Em
No other man said   love yourself
       G9        Am7
Nobody else can.
                    F#m7/5-
We weren't meant to be,
   B7                Em7       D7/9
At least not in this lifetime,
          C7+   D4        Em   Am7     B7
But you gave me something to remember.
           B7/D#       Em
I hear you still say,    Love yourself.
G            D#7+        D7        Am7
I had all my bets laid all on you
G#                  G4             G        F#º
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
Fm7            E7/5+       G#º     Am   D7/9
In the game of love I've paid my dues.
C7+               E4        Bm7          F7+
Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,
E7/5+   F#º     C/G          F6         E4/7          C7+    G#m/5+
Wish I  had the chance to know  you and it wasn't stormy weather.
D7(9/#11)        C#m7/5-
What a shame,        who's to blame?
