[Verse 1]
Am             F
I've heard it said in life
     C                G
that it's all just a game.
Am       F
Full of happiness
C                  G
ups and downs and pain.
Am         F
Well, if that's the case
C               G
I don't wanna play.

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                      F    G
It's always gettin' me down. '

[Chorus]
               Am                 F
Cause it'd be fine if it was the first time
                  C              G
but please don't take me for no fool. '
                Am                  F
Cause I'm not blind. You're out of line,
     C                      G
I'm tired of you being so cruel.
              Am               F                C                   G
Make up your mind, It's about time for you to start playing by the rules.
     Am                    F
I'm givin' up, givin' up, givin' up,
 C                G
givin' up, givin' up on you.

[Verse 2]
Am             F
I've heard it said in life
      C                G
that money buys everything.
Am                     F
Well, I guess that you only cared
           C                    G
about the size of your diamond ring.
Am         F
Well, if that's the case
        C                    G
you're not what I'm looking for.

You make my life a living hell. Oh Oh...
Bb5                   Aaug              B7(#11)
I'm tyring to find a way to say farewell.
C5                       Baug
How many chances do you need. Mmh Mmm...

To realise your future.

Is without me? '
