SIm11 MI REmaj7/MI MIsus4
I started to cry, they put gin in my cup
REmaj7/MI MI REmaj7 MIsus4
I started to crawl and they swaddled me up
REmaj7/MI MI LAsus2/MI MI
I got up and run, they said, easy son
LAsus2/MI MI
Play up, play the game
REmaj7/MI MI REmaj7/MI MIsus4
They told me to think and forget what I'd heard
REmaj7/MI MI REmaj7 MIsus4
They told me to lie and then questioned my word
REmaj7/MI MI LAsus2/MI MI
They taught me to fail, better sink than sail
LAsus2/MI MI
Just play the game
MIm7 LA/MI MIm7 LA/MI
Oh towers will tumble and locusts will visit the land
MIm7 LA/MI MIm7 FA#m7b5
SI9sus4
Oh a curse on your house and your children and the fruit of your hand
MIm SOL
They said you can't win, you can't win
FA#m7b5 FAmaj7b5
You sweat blood, you give in
MIm SOL
You can't win, you can't win
FA#m7b5 FAmaj7b5
Turn the cheek, take it on the chin
MIm MIm/RE
Don't you dare do this don't you dare do that
DO LA7sus2
We shoot down dreams, we stiletto in the back
MIm MIm/RE
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people
DO
The nerve of some people
LA7sus MI SIm7 MI MIsus4
SIm11
I don't know who you think you are, who you think you are
Oh what kind of mother would hamstring her sons
Throw sand in their eyes and put ice on their tongues
Better to leave than stay here and grieve
And play the game
Don't waken the dead as you sleepwalk around
If you have a dream, brother, hush, not a sound
Stand there and rust, and die if you must
But play the game
Oh if we can't have it, why should a wretch like you?
Oh it was drilled in our heads, now we drill it into your head too
You can't win, you can't win
You sweat blood, you give in
You can't win, you can't win
Turn the cheek, take it on the chin
Don't you dare do this don't you dare do that
We harpoon dreams, we stiletto in the back
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people
The nerve of some people, the nerve of some people
