View chords used in this chart
So here I am once Dm more
in the playground of the Bb broken C hearts,
one more exGmperience, one more F entry
in a Am diary, self-Dmpenned.
Yet another emotional Bb suiCcide,
overdosed on Am sentiment and Dm pride.
Cm Too late to say I G love you.
Too Cm late to restage the G play.
ACmbandoning the G relics
in my D playground of yesterGday.
I'm D losing on the A swings,
I'm F#m losing on the Bm roundabouts.
I'm D losing on the A swings,
I'm F#m losing on the Bm roundabouts.
D Too much, too soon,
A too far to go,
F#m7 too late to play, Bm
the game is Do-Bmver,
the game is Do-Bmver.
