...Chords...
[Verse 1]
A5
I'd say it was the right time
To walk away
A5
When dreaming takes you nowhere
It's time to play
G5
Bodies working overtime
Your money don't matter
G5
The time keeps ticking
D5
Someone's on your mind
(on your mind)
[Verse 2]
A5
I'm moving in slow motion
Feels so good
A5
It's a strange anticipation
Knock, knock, knocking on wood
G5
Bodies working overtime
It's Man against man
G5
And all that ever matters
D5
Is baby who's ahead in the game
Bb5 C5
Funny but it's always the same
[Chorus]
F5 Bb5
Playing, playing with the boys
F5 Bb5
Staying, playing with the boys
G5 A5
After chasing sunsets
Bb5 C5
One of life's simple joys
D5
Is playing with the boys
[Chorus lead -played after Bb]

[Verse 3]
She said it was the wrong thing
For me to do
I said it's just a boys' game
That girls play too
My heart is working overtime
In this kind of game
People get hurt
I'm thinkin that the people is me
If you want to find me, I'll be...
-[Chorus 2]-
[Middle Section]
D5
I don't want to be the moth around your fire
...with the boys
D5
I don't want to be obsessed by my desire
G5 A5
Your shining, Your smiling
Bb5 D5
I've seen enough
...with the boys
G5
I'm staying here
A5 Bh
You play too rough
[Last Chorus]
Playing, playing with the boys
I'll be staying, playing with the boys
After chasing sunsets
One of life's simple joys
Is playing with the boys
Playing with the boys
Playing
Playing
Playing
Playing......
