...Chords...

[Verse 1]
A
I'd say it was the right time

To walk away
A
When dreaming takes you nowhere

It's time to play
               G
Bodies working overtime

Your money don't matter
G
The time keeps ticking
                           D
Someone's on your mind
(on your mind)


[Verse 2]
A
I'm moving in slow motion

Feels so good
A
It's a strange anticipation

Knock, knock, knocking on wood
               G
Bodies working overtime

It's Man against man
G
And all that ever matters
                            D
Is baby who's ahead in the game
               Bb             C
Funny but it's always the same


[Chorus]
F                             Bb
Playing, playing with the boys
F                             Bb
Staying, playing with the boys
G                    A
After chasing sunsets
Bb                       C
One of life's simple joys
                        D
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]
D
I don't want to be the moth around your fire
...with the boys
D
I don't want to be obsessed by my desire
G             A
Your shining, Your smiling
Bb              D
I've seen enough
...with the boys
G
I'm staying here
A                 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......
