I used to play a thousand foolish games,

With forgotten faces and forgotten names.

And it turned its back on me;

Still it kept me chained,
G7 C
And it would not set me free.

I let my heart fall into foolish hands,

And in the name of love,
G7 C
They kept on wasting me.

I read His book and I know how the story ends.
