Introd

/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?
