# so I am posting as complete a version as I can. #
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO:  G   C   G   D  C  
   GTell me now, if you came Dsneaking up behind
   EmWould you know me and Csee behind the smile?
   GI can change like Dcolors on a wall
   EmHoping no-one else will find what lCies beneath it all
   CI think I hide it oh so well
CHORUS:
GStepping out, everyone can see Cmy face
All the things I Gcan’t erase
From my lDife, Everybody Cknows
GStanding out, so you won’t forget my Cname
That’s the way we Gplay this game
Of lDife, Everybody Cknows
   GLooking through the crowd, I Dsearch for something else
   But Emevery time I turn around, I Crun into myself
   GHere I stand conDsumed with my surroundings
   JuEmst another day of Ceverybody looking
   I Dswore they’d never Amsee me cry
   They’d never see me Dcry
CHORUS:
GStepping out, everyone can see Cmy face
All the things I Gcan’t erase
From my lDife, Everybody Cknows
GStanding out, so you won’t forget my Cname
That’s the way we Gplay this game
Of lDife, Everybody Cknows
BRIDGE:
  FCould be I’ll Cpay the price
  GThat’s a Dchance that I’ll take 
  FThough Cyou may think IAm’m telling lies
  But DI just call it getting by
CHORUS:
GStepping out, everyone can seCe my face (see my face)
All the things I Gcan’t erase
From my lDife, Everybody Cknows
GStanding out, so you won’t forget mCy name
That’s the way we Gplay this game
Of lDife, Everybody Cknows
