CAPO 2
[Verse 1]
EmHere we go again, it's the game we love
Sheets Call over the floor and they laced with drugs
You ain't Gplay your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs
Hit you Amwith the Ace of Spades and your face is shrugged
EmBlood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs
We was Cjust planning a wedding, Caucasian doves
You was jusGt tellin' your mans, that you hate the clubs
Now we Amin the crying game, heart laced with slugs
[Bridge]
EmAre you alone? CDo you need someone?
GIs it too late to talk? AmDid I wait too long?
EmThousand words,  Cdon't change a thing
GIs it only three? AmThree words that you're missing?
[Pre-Chorus]
EmWhere did you go? Couldn't see
CI was too busy
GCould've just said no
AmWhere would you go? I think I know
[Chorus]
CWho-o-o-o-o-o, Amwho-o-o-o-o-o
EmWe're back to playing
GWe're back Dto playing
CWho-o-o-o-o-o, Amwho-o-o-o-o-o
EmWe're back to playing
GThe crying Dgame
[Post-Chorus]
CI could've given everything
AmDon't wanna let the tears begin
EmWe're back to playing
GThe crying Dgame
CI could've given everything
AmDon't wanna let the tears begin
EmWe're back to playing
GThe crying Dgame
[Verse 2]
Welcome Emto the crying game where you lose your soul
Where it Cain't no easy cash, you got to use the toll
Ain't no Gcruise control, you 'bout to lose control
Ain't no Amsmilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes
Sayin' Emwe don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious
Sayin' Cthat we had enough, but enough of what?
Another slaGp to the face, another uppercut
I'm just Amabusive by nature, not cause I hate ya
EmNot cause I wanna get someone to imitate ya
CI know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya
GBut is you stayin' or goin'?]
AmI couldn't breathe and you ain't even know it
EmHow come you never show it?
CAll this love you speak of
GAll I want is to love and be loved
(TAmo love and be loved)
[Bridge 2]
EmI'm losin' a thing I Cthought I'd win
GAnd I'm coming undone
AmCause the tears don't end
[Pre-Chorus]
EmWhere did you go? Couldn't see
CI was too busy
GCould've just said no
AmWhere would you go? I think I know
[Chorus]
CWho-o-o-o-o-o, Amwho-o-o-o-o-o
EmWe're back to playing
GWe're back Dto playing
CWho-o-o-o-o-o, Amwho-o-o-o-o-o
EmWe're back to playing
GThe crying Dgame

AmDon't wanna let the tears begin
EmWe're back to playing
GThe crying Dgame
CI could've given everything
AmDon't wanna let the tears begin
EmWe're back to playing

CAPO 2

[Verse 1]

Here we go again, it's the game we love

Sheets all over the floor and they laced with drugs

You ain't play your cards right, you had the Ace of Clubs

Hit you with the Ace of Spades and your face is shrugged

Blood drippin' out your arm on my Asian rugs

We was just planning a wedding, Caucasian doves

You was just tellin' your mans, that you hate the clubs

Now we in the crying game, heart laced with slugs

[Bridge]

[Verse 2]

Welcome to the crying game where you lose your soul

Where it ain't no easy cash, you got to use the toll

Ain't no cruise control, you 'bout to lose control

Ain't no smilin' faces here, we slammin' doors and dishes

Sayin' we don't miss each other, but it's all fictitious

Sayin' that we had enough, but enough of what?

Another slap to the face, another uppercut

I'm just abusive by nature, not cause I hate ya

Not cause I wanna get someone to imitate ya

I know it's hard, I know I intimidate ya

But is you stayin' or goin'?]

I couldn't breathe and you ain't even know it

How come you never show it?

All this love you speak of

All I want is to love and be loved

(To love and be loved)

[Bridge 2]

Em C

I'm losin' a thing I thought I'd win

And I'm coming undone

Cause the tears don't end

Where would you go? I think I know
