Intro: CFCF

C
It took a little time
F
But I guess you finally learned
C ~ Am
Of promises getting broken
Dm7G
And bridges do get burned
CC6
You've been sifting through the ashes
E7F
Just trying to find a flame
GC
Holding on to nothing
GCG
You're a victim of the game
---
C
You were standing way too close
F
To see it fall apart
C ~ Am
There were things you couldn't hear
Dm7G
'Cause you were listening with your heart
CC6
You can't say I didn't warn you
E7F
Now there's no one else to blame
GC
There's no one quite as blind
GCG
As a victim of the game
Chorus:
FBbF
And it don't matter who you are
CBbAA7Dm
It treats everyone the same
FG
When all you need's a heart
FGCF
To be a victim of the game
---
C
You know it's really getting to you
F
When you take to telling lies
C ~ Am
You can try to fool your friends
Dm7G
But you can't look 'em in the eye
CC6
There ain't no standing tall
E7F
In the shadow of the shame
GC
When everybody knows
GCG
That you're a victim of the game
Chorus:
FBbF
It don't matter who you are
CBbAA7Dm
It treats everyone the same
FG
When all you need's a heart
FGC
To be a victim of the game
---
When I look into your eyes
E7F
I can really feel the pain
GC
Staring in the mirror
GC
At a victim of the game
