It's what you want to see
          Esus4
Some sensuality

[Verse 2]

      A    Asus4 E            Fm                D
When you cry,    I just can't prove you wrong
          Bm7          D
No I just play along
           Esus4          E
I guess it turns you on...

[Chorus]

             A
The games we play
             E
The shows we give
              Fm
The hearts we break
                D
We live through this...
             Bm     E
The games we play

[Verse 3]

A  Asus2 E             Fm     D
Do right, it's getting critical
      Bm7                   D
Are we too cynical...
            Esus4         E
Could use a miracle...

[Chorus]

              A
The games we play
              E
The shows we give
               Fm
My heart you break
                D                    Bm        D
I live through this... the games we play
             A
The games we play
              E
The rules we make
              Fm              D
Like secret codes, we can't escape
             Bm
The games we play...

[Verse 4]

A  Asus2 E             Fm     D
You say there really is no doubt
            Bm7                   D
We just can't do without...

[Chorus]

             A
The games we play
              E
The shows we give
              Fm
The hearts we break
                 D
We live through this
             A
The games we play
             E
The rules we bend
             Fm              D
With lovers lust, we will defend
              Bm
The games we play...
