Amaj7              Bm      D
They say passion rules me,
                         E
I guess I played it fast once or twice.
Amaj7            Bm      D
Can't say I feel guilty,
                   E
Just depends who's rolling my dice.
A                     Amaj7        Bm
While I was caught up in the game,
              E
I was playing unaware.
A                 Amaj7          Bm
Then he struck me down mid aim,
                        E                            Amaj7
and then he left me, he left me hanging round in mid air.
 
[Chorus] 
Amaj7        Bm      D
I hate to play games,
            E
He'll never understand.
Amaj7                     Bm       D
Once you're locked in his chains,
                      E      Amaj7    Bm
Your heart has spoken so let go.
    D     E
Let go.
 
[Verse] 
Amaj7                 Bm      D
Your displays sent me flying,
                         E
Ace of clubs should have bet on my heart.
Amaj7             Bm         D
In his eyes I saw diamonds,
                            E
This my friend is where the problem starts.
A                  Amaj7            Bm
He holds his cards close so tight,
                        E
So he'll never know the things I feel.
A                   Amaj7                Bm
Yes he holds me all through the night,
                      E                             Amaj7
but my heart is open, open and ready to steal.
 
[Chorus] 
Amaj7        Bm      D
I hate to play games,
            E
He'll never understand.
Amaj7                     Bm       D
Once you're locked in his chains,
                      E      Amaj7    Bm
Your heart has spoken so let go.
    D     E
Let go.
 
[Verse] 
Dbm                A
Either way I can't win,
B                      Dbm
You choose to live, or choose to hide,
Dbm                 A
Either way it's not him,
              B                                         Amaj7
That's why my hands, my feet, my tired beating body has died,
    D      E
Has died.
 
[Chorus] 
Amaj7        Bm      D
I hate to play games,
            E
He'll never understand.
Amaj7                     Bm       D
Once you're locked in his chains,
                      E      Amaj7    Bm
Your heart has spoken so let go.
    D     E
Let go.
