G/D A/D G/D D Everybody's going to the movies G/D A/D G/D D Everybody's leaving for the show Em F#m G Gsus4 G Seems as if we've lost the nerves for feeling Em F#m G D And no one's in the mood to want to know (Chorus) A D G I've got news for you this is not a game A G I've got news for you are you listening? G D A D G I've got news for you we are all the same A G A G D And when that is understood we can start to live again G/D A/D G/D D Can you look inside yourself and tell me G/D A/D G/D D That your emptiness is just a state of mind? Em F#m G Gsus4 G And you'll feel better if you just keep busy Em F#m G D If you leave your feelings all behind (Chorus 2) A D G I've got news for you this is not a game A G I've got news for you are you listening? G D A D G I've got news for you we are all to blame A G A G D And when that is understood we can start to live again A G D A G D Oh, start to live again, people, people tell me where have you been? G/D A/D G/D D Ever feel as if your heart was whispering G/D A/D G/D D Like a special voice you never heard before Em F#m G Gsus4 G And something deep inside your soul was ticking Em F#m G D As if someone was pounding on the door (Chorus 3) A D G I've got news for you this is not a game A G I've got news for you are you listening? G D A D G I've got news for you we are all the same A D G I've got news for you this is not a game A D G I've got news for you we are all to blame A G A G D And when that is understood we can start to live again A G A G D Oh, yes, when that is understood we can start to live, start to live again (Optional ending particularly for church - ha ha!) Repeat and fade A G D He loves you baby, baby, oooh la la, he loves you baby, baby, oooh lala, oooh lala Transcribed by Joshua R.
