Intro
F#m7  B7  E  Emaj7 
 
          F#m7 
I've been counting the cost 
       B7 
Of the love and the loss 
            E 
The reasons why 
            Emaj7 
The reasons why 
     F#m7 
Even playing by the rules 
        B7 
Doesn't mean you'll never lose 
            E 
At least we tried 
            Emaj7 E7 A 
At least we tried 
 
That's the way 
            F#m7 
The game unfolds 
 
People come 
           B   E/B B7 
And people go, oo, oooh 
 
Whistling Break 
E  G#m  C#m7    B 
 
       F#m7 
We got drunk 
 
From the pain 
       B7 
And we danced 
 
To our mistakes 
            E 
For far too long 
            Emaj7 
For far too long 
 
           F#m7 
Wipe these tears 
 
From our eyes 
       B7 
Cos we both 
 
Have paid the price 
            E 
At least we tried 
            Emaj7 E7 A 
At least we tried 
 
That's the way 
            F#m7 
The game is played 
 
People bend 
           B      E/B  B   G#7 
And people brea-, ea-, eak 
 
       C#m7 
So goodbye 
          Caug 
To you my friend 
          C#m7/B 
Love will find 
           F#7/Bb 
You in the end 
            F#m7/A 
At least we tried 
            B     A 
At least we tried 
 
E   F#m7
