[[VERSE 1]]
G
Well, it took a little time 
      C
But I guess you finally learned 
     G       D/F#      E
That promises get broken 
    A              D
And bridges do get burned 
            G
You've been siftin' through the ashes
        B             C               
Just tryin' to find a flame 
C             G
Holdin' on to nothin' 
         D             G
You're a victim of the game 

[[VERSE 2]]
G
You were standin' way too close 
   C
To see it all fall apart 
               G          D/F#     E
And there were things you couldn't hear 
                A                   D
'Cause you were listenin' with your heart 
       G 
But you can't say I didn't warn you 
            B              C
Now there's no one else to blame 
C                        G
There's on one quite as blind 
        D          G
As a victim of the game 

[[CHORUS]]
             C      F       C
And it don't matter who you are 
          G    F       B
It treats everyone the same 
A   A/G               D     
     All you need's a heart 
        C       D      G  
To be a victim of the game

[[VERSE 3]]
             G
You know it's really gettin' to you 
         C
When you take to tellin' lies 
           G       D/F#        E 
And you can try to fool your friends 
              A               D
But you can't look 'em in the eye 
       G                  
There ain't no standin' tall 
       B             C
In the shadow of the shame 
       G
When everybody knows 
              D             G
That you're a victim of the game 

[[CHORUS]]
             C      F       C
And it don't matter who you are 
          G     F      B  
It treats everyone the same 
A   A/G               D
     All you need's a heart 
        C      D       G
To be a victim of the game 
G
Oh, you know, when I look into your eyes 
      B      Eb       C
I can really feel the pain 
C                   G
Starin' in the mirror 
D                       
At a victim of?..
G
 The game
