Verse 1Em
Here we go again, it's the game we love

Sheets all over the floor and they laced with drugs
G
You ain't play your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs
Am
Hit you with the Ace of Spades and your face is shrugged
Em
Blood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs
C
We was just planning a wedding, Caucasian doves
G
You was just tellin' your mans, that you hate the clubs
Am
Now we in the crying game, heart laced with slugs

Verse 2Em
Welcome to the crying game where you lose your soul
C
Where it ain't no easy cash, you got to use the toll
G
Ain't no cruise control, you 'bout to lose control
Am
Ain't no smilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes
Em
Sayin' we don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious
C
Sayin' that we had enough, but enough of what?
G
Another slap to the face, another uppercut
Am
I'm just abusive by nature, not cause I hate ya
Em
Not cause I wanna get someone to imitate ya
C
I know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya
G
But is you stayin' or goin'?]
Am
I couldn't breathe and you ain't even know it

How come you never show it?

All this love you speak of
G
All I want is to love and be loved

(To love and be loved)
