I have serious doubts about many of them, so remarks are very welcome. So here I am once [Dm] more in the playground of the [Bb] broken [C] hearts, one more ex[Gm]perience, one more [F] entry in a [Am] diary, self-[Dm]penned. Yet another emotional [Bb] sui[C]cide, overdosed on [Am] sentiment and [Dm] pride. [Cm] Too late to say I [G] love you. Too [Cm] late to restage the [G] play. A[Cm]bandoning the [G] relics in my [D] playground of yester[G]day. I'm [D] losing on the [A] swings, I'm [F#m] losing on the [Bm] roundabouts. I'm [D] losing on the [A] swings, I'm [F#m] losing on the [Bm] roundabouts. [D] Too much, too soon, [A] too far to go, [F#m7] too late to play, [Bm] the game is [D]o-[Bm]ver, the game is [D]o-[Bm]ver. [D] [A] [F#m] [D] [A] [F#m] [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [G] [A] [G] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [Bm] [F#sus7] [G] [A] [G] [F#sus7] [Bm] Yet [F#sus7] a[Bm]no[F#sus7]ther e[Bm]motio[F#sus7]nal [Bm] su[F#sus7]i[G]cide [A] [G] [F#sus7] repeat these chords until you get sick of 'em, or until you reach...: ...[A] the [G] game [F#sus7] is [Em] over.... I [Em] act the [Bm] role in [F#sus7] classic style [Em] of a [Em] martyr [Bm] carved with a [F#sus7] twisted smyle [Em] To [Em] bleed the [Bm] lyrics [F#sus7] for this song [Em] to [Em] write the [Bm] rites, to [F#sus7] right my wrongs [Em] An [Am] epi[G]taph to a [F] broken dream [G] to [Am] exor[G]cise this [F]silent scream [G] A [Em] scream [Bm] [F#sus7] that's [Em] borne from [Em] sorrow [Bm] [F#sus7] [Em] etc.... Promised wedding now a [A] wake [F#m] [E] [B] [Abm] [A] [F#m] [B] The [Abm] fool escaped from paradise will look [A] over his shoulder and cry. [F#m] Sit and chew on daffodils and [B] struggle to answer why? repeat [Abm] [A] [F#m] [B] with just one variation: ..has gone [Abm] solo in the [A] game, I've gone [D] solo [F#m] in the [B] game.
