[Intro]
G5 Bb5 G5 C5 Bb5 A5 x 2
Gm7
[Verse]
G5
Whatever happened to being all alone
Bb5
Proudly being stoic as you wander home
G5
After a day trip into the bottom of your heart
Bb5
Where you realise how hard it is to restart
G5
And there's a battered old PC running Windows XP
Bb5
As slow as you are when making up excuses to leave
G5
But unlike the computer that's decades old
Bb5 N.C.
The heart stays reliable and won't turn cold
[Chorus]
G5 Bb5 G5
The games that you're playing just don't add up
G5 C5 G5
When you're constantly refusing to ever have trust
G5 Bb5 G5
And when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes
G5 C5 G5
So when they start their bullet stares, don't be surprised
G5 Bb5 G5 C5 Bb5 G5
Just save it for when you realise it's just a storm in a teacup
[Verse]
G5
Said it yourself you find it hard to care
Bb5
You say caring results in awkward stares
G5
You don't know how to act and you don't know how to listen
Bb5
Instead you just opt for your own immoral mission
G5
Trudging through the gutter on the yellow brick road
Bb5
Searching for fields of dishonesty in which you can roam
G5
And even the fuckin tinman who doesn't have a heart
Bb5
Is repelled at your decisions even before you start
[Chorus]
G5 Bb5 G5
The games that you're playing just don't add up
G5 C5 G5
When you're constantly refusing to ever have trust
G5 Bb5 G5
And when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes
G5 C5 G5
So when they start their bullet stares, don't be surprised
G5 Bb5 G5 C5 Bb5 G5
Just save it for when you realise it's just a storm in a teacup

[Chorus]
G5 Bb5 G5
The games that you're playing just don't add up
G5 C5 G5
When you're constantly refusing to ever have trust

And when you play stupid games you win stupid prizes
G5 C5 G5
So when they start their bullet stares, don't be surprised
G5 Bb5 G5 C5 Bb5 G5
Just save it for when you realise it's just a storm in a teacup
