/9 /9
Seems I've played the game for much too long
º
I let people buy my love and I
/5+ º /9 /9
Never got to sing my songs for you.
I had all my bets laid all on you
º
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
/5+ º /9
In the game of love you pay your dues.
Say that happiness cannot be measured,
/5+ º -/6 /7 /5+
And a little pain can bring you all life's little pleasures.
-/7/9 /5-
What a joke.
Chorus
/9- /9
I was not your woman, I was not your friend,
But you gave me something to remember.
No other man said love yourself
Nobody else can.
/9-
We weren't meant to be,
/9
At least not in this lifetime,
But you gave me something to remember.
I hear you still say, "Love yourself".
I had all my bets laid all on you
º
Set your stakes too high, you're bound to lose.
/5+ º /9
In the game of love I've paid my dues.
Guess I'm waiting for my place in your sun,
/5+ º -/6 /7 /5+
Wish I had the chance to know you and it wasn't stormy weather.
-/7/9 /5-
What a shame, who's to blame?
