Intro:     C     F     C
 

  C          F         C
 Why did I dream last night?
  C             F       C
 Why did I not see the light?
                Am
 Cause here and now is what I've been waiting for
         F
 All my life this is what I was born to do
          C                              Em
 No sacrifice I wouldn't give it up for you

 
      F              C
 And set fire to my heart
                      Am
 Then tear my world apart
                      Em
 Just like you always do
      F                    C
 And give, give me just a taste
                    Am
 Then take it all away
                  Em
 I'm lost in the game
                        Am
 The game you call the fame

 
 Am    F    C    Em   x2


  C          F                        C
 Why did I think there was something more?
  C               F                        C
 Why did it feel different to the years before?
                 Am
 Cause here and now is what I've been waiting for
         F
 All my life this is what I was born to do
          C                              Em
 No sacrifice I wouldn't give it up for you

 
      F              C
 And set fire to my heart
                      Am
 Then tear my world apart
                      Em
 Just like you always do
      F                    C
 And give, give me just a taste
                    Am
 Then take it all away
                  Em
 I'm lost in the game
                        Am     F     C    Em
 The game you call the fame 
                        Am     F     C    Em
 The game you call the fame
 

      F              C
 And set fire to my heart
                      Am
 Then tear my world apart
                      Em
 Just like you always do
      F                    C
 And give, give me just a taste
                    Am
 Then take it all away
                  Em
 I'm lost in the game
                        Am     
 The game you call the fame
