The Games People Play
Written and recorded by Joe South

C                                                  G7
Oh the games people play now every night and every day now
                        F       G7                     C
Never meaning what they say now never saying what they mean
                                            G7
And they wile away the hours in their ivory towers
                             F              G7                   C
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

  
La-da da da da da da da
                  G7
La-da da da da da de
              F
Talking 'bout you and me
G7                   C
And the games people play

                                                  G7
Oh we make one another cry  break a heart then we say goodbye
                        F           G7                    C
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that the other was to blame
                                           G7
Neither one will give in so we gaze at our eight by ten
                               F               G7                  C
Thinking 'bout the things that might have been it's a dirty rotten shame

Repeat #2

                                            G7
People walking up to you singing glory hallelulia
                   F                 G7                 C
And they're trying to sock it to you in the name of the Lord
                                                            G7
They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope cheat your faith
                    F              G7                 C
And further more to hell with hate come on and get on board

 Repeat #2

                                                    G7
Look around tell me what you see what's happening to you and me
                   F      G7                C
God grant me the serenity to remember who I am
                                                          G7
Cause you've given up your sanity for your pride and your vanity
                   F      G7                   C
Turns you sad on humanity and you don't give a da da da da da

Repeat #2
