Oh, the games people play now,
                      E
every night and every day now
                        D       E7
Never meaning what they say now,
                       A
never saying what they mean


While they wile away the hours,
               E
in their ivory towers
                             D       E7
Till they're covered up with flowers,
                            A
in the back of a black limousine

A
La-da da da da da da da 
         E
La-da da da da da de
              D          E7
Talking 'bout you and me,
                     A
and the games people play, now


Oh, we make one another cry,
                              E
break a heart then we say goodbye
                                D   E7
Cross our hearts and we hope to die,
                      A
that the other was to blame


Neither one will ever give in,
                           E
so we gaze at our eight by ten
                               D              E7
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been,
                    A
it's a dirty rotten shame

A
La-da da da da da da da 
         E
La-da da da da da de
              D          E7
Talking 'bout you and me,
                     A
and the games people play, now

A E D E7 A  2x


People walking up to you,
                   E
singing glory hallelulia
                             D     E7
And they're tryin to sock it to you,
                   A
in the name of the Lord

                   
They're gonna teach you how to meditate,
                     E
read your horoscope, cheat your faith
                    D              E7
And further more to hell with hate,
                   A
come on and get on board

A
La-da da da da da da da 
         E
La-da da da da da de
              D          E7
Talking 'bout you and me,
                     A
and the games people play

                  
Look around tell me what you see,
                    E
what's happening to you and me
                   D      E7
God grant me the serenity,
                       A
to just remember who I am, woh ah

 
Cause you've given up your sanity,
                        E
for your pride and your vanity
                     D     E7
Turn your back  on humanity,
                     A
and you don't give a da da da da da

A
La-da da da da da da da 
         E
La-da da da da da de
              D          E7
Talking 'bout you and me,
                     A
and the games people play  3x
