[Verse 1]
G                      D
  I've played the games  the masquerades
       G
By the time the eleventh hour fades
C                                      G      Am  D
  You're bound to know that what I say is true
G                D
  And I'm the one  you're looking for
      G
Every time you find that cheatin' door
A7                                  D
  I'll just keep pretending I never knew

[Chorus]
                C       G   C                     G           C
But what are we in this for   when our hearts are on the line
         G                 C                        G    C
And if a heart could break   you're surely breaking mine
          G            C                G    F C
And if we fall to ruin   it wasn't by design
                     Am                           D
But if I can have my way there's no price I won't pay
                 G    F C   G   F C
Just keep buying time

[Verse 2]
G                  D
  I'll have to say   I have my doubts
    G         D        G
But I'll give all till I give out
C                                  G   Am  D
  And I'll do anything to make you stay
G                   D
  But this could be   part of the plan
      G
Maybe we were dealt a losing hand
A7                                           D
  I'll have to let the cards fall where they may

[Chorus]
                C       G   C                     G           C
But what are we in this for   when our hearts are on the line
         G                 C                        G    C
And if a heart could break   you're surely breaking mine
          G            C                G    F C
And if we fall to ruin   it wasn't by design
                     Am                           D
But if I can have my way there's no price I won't pay
                 G    F C   G   F C   G
Just keep buying time
