INTRO CHORUS :  
E                          B7
La da la da da ...la da la de-d-de        
              A          B7                     E
talking 'bout you and me...and the games people play


VERSE
E
Oh the games people play now
                      B7
Every night and every day now 
                        A
Never meaning what they say now 
B7                     E
Never saying what they mean

VERSE
E
So they while away the hours
               B7
In their ivory towers
                              A
Till they're covered up with flowers
       B7                    E         
In the back of a black limou-sine


CHORUS 
E                          B7
La da la da da ...la da la de-d-de
              A         B7                      E     
talking 'bout you and me...and the games people play


VERSE
Oh they make one another cry 
Break their hearts and they say goodbye 
Cross our hearts and we hope to die 
That the other was to blame 

VERSE
Neither one would ever give in 
So they gaze at an eight by ten 
Thinkin' 'bout the it might have been 
And it's a dirty rotten shame 

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL : CHORUS

VERSE
People walkin up to ya
Singing glory haliluah
and they try to sock it to ya
In the name of the Lord

VERSE
They're gonna teach you how to meditate 
Read your horoscope and cheat your fate 
And the further more the hell with hate 
Come on and get on board


CHORUS


VERSE

Look around and tell me what you see 
What's happening to you and me 
God grant me the serenity
To just remember who I am

VERSE
Cause you've given up your sanity
for your pride and your vanity
turned your back on humanity
and you don't give a la da da 

CHORUS 
E                          B7

CHORUS 
E                          B7

talking 'bout you and me...and the games people play
