[Refrão]
Gm
They must have loved each other once
 
Eb
But that was many years ago
 
Cm7
And by the time I came along

Things were already going wrong
 
Gm
I felt the pain in their pretence
 
Eb
The side they tried hard not to show
 
Cm7
But through the simple eyes of youth
 
Cm6/D D7
It wasn't hard to see the truth
 
[Refrão]
Gm Eb
And in the end nobody wins
 
Cm7
When love begins to fall apart
 
Bb/D Eb
And it's the innocent who pay
 
Bb Eb/Bb
When broken dreams get in the way
 
Bb Am7 D
The game begins, the game nobody wins
 
[Ponte]

[Verso 2]
Gm
They must have loved each other once
 
Eb
Before the magic slipped away
 
Cm7
And as their life became a lie
 
Cm6/D
What love remained began to die
 
Gm
I used to hide beneath the sheets
 
Eb
I prayed that time would find a way
 
Cm7
But with the passing of the years
 
Cm6/D D7
I watched as laughter turned to tears
 
[Refrão]
Gm Eb
And in the end nobody wins
 
Cm7
When love begins to fall apart

When broken dreams get in the way

The game begins, the game nobody wins

[Verso 3]
Gm
We used to love each other once
 
Eb
With all the passion we possessed
 
Cm7
But people change as time goes by
 
Cm6/D
Some feelings grow while others die
 
Gm
But if we learn from what we see
 
Eb
And face the truth while we still can
 
Cm7
Then though the passion may be gone
 
Cm6/D D7
Some kind of love can still live on
 
[Refrão]
Gm Eb
And in the end nobody wins
 
Cm7
When love begins to fall apart

And it's the innocent who pay

When broken dreams get in the way

The game begins, the game nobody wins
