[Intro]
 G   Dadd11/F#   Em7   Dadd11/F#   Cadd9(x1)
[Verse 1]
Well now GI, I'm in control
I'm grabbing Dadd11/F#ahold of everything
If it's too much to Em7carry
Afraid I donDadd11/F#'t bury myCadd9self
And this rGoom, this room is too cold
These words get sDadd11/F#o old, and their all that I have
You're watching each Em7one, and I have Dadd11/F#begun to be somCadd9eone else
It's not what I Dadd11/F#wanted, but that's what Cadd9I neededC(#9)  
[Chorus]
When I was hGigh, I was Dadd11/F#alone
You said you weren't sEm7ure
And you didn't Cadd9know
But I won'Em7t playCadd9  
Play your Em7gameDadd11/F#  
[Verse 2]
You might sGay, I lost it all
I take the Dadd11/F#blame, it's all my fault
And it's too lEm7ate to lock up the Dadd11/F#gates, these words Cadd9got out
And now it tGime, time to move on
And all my old Dadd11/F#friends, I know their gone
'Cause I made a chEm7oice of wasting my Dadd11/F#voice
They can hear Cadd9me now
It's not what I Dadd11/F#wanted
But that's what Cadd9I neededC(#9)  
[Chorus]
When I was hGigh, I was Dadd11/F#alone
You said you weren't sEm7ure
And you didn't Cadd9know
But I won'Em7t playCadd9  
Play your Em7gameDadd11/F#  
When I was Gup, you put me Dadd11/F#down
Thought that Em7you could just spin me aCadd9round 
With a move of yoEm7ur haCadd9nd
You'd make me lEm7andCadd9  
Some place Gnew
Some place Gnew
[Bridge]
And now it's Em7my Dadd11/F#time to knCadd9ow
And everything's spinning arEm7ound
Got toDadd11/F#o much to lCadd9oseC(#9)  
[Chorus]
When I was hGigh, I was Dadd11/F#alone
You said you weren't sEm7ure
And you didn't Cadd9know
But I won'Em7t playCadd9  
Play your Em7gameDadd11/F#  
When I was Gup, you put me Dadd11/F#down
Thought that Em7you could just spin me aCadd9round

[Intro]

G Dadd11/F# Em7 Dadd11/F# Cadd9

(x1)

[Verse 1]

Well now I, I'm in control

Dadd11/F#

I'm grabbing ahold of everything

Em7

If it's too much to carry

Dadd11/F# Cadd9

Afraid I don't bury myself

And this room, this room is too cold

Dadd11/F#

These words get so old, and their all that I have

Em7 Dadd11/F# Cadd9

You're watching each one, and I have begun to be someone else

Dadd11/F# Cadd9 C(#9)

It's not what I wanted, but that's what I needed

[Chorus]

G Dadd11/F#

When I was high, I was alone

Em7

You said you weren't sure

Cadd9

And you didn't know

Em7 Cadd9

But I won't play

Em7 Dadd11/F#

Play your game

[Verse 2]

You might say, I lost it all

Dadd11/F#

I take the blame, it's all my fault

Em7 Dadd11/F# Cadd9

And it's too late to lock up the gates, these words got out

And now it time, time to move on

Dadd11/F#

And all my old friends, I know their gone

Em7 Dadd11/F#

'Cause I made a choice of wasting my voice

Cadd9

They can hear me now

Dadd11/F#

It's not what I wanted

Cadd9 C(#9)

But that's what I needed

[Chorus]

G Dadd11/F#

When I was high, I was alone

Em7

You said you weren't sure

Cadd9

And you didn't know

Em7 Cadd9

But I won't play

Em7 Dadd11/F#

Play your game

G Dadd11/F#

When I was up, you put me down

Em7 Cadd9

Thought that you could just spin me around

Em7 Cadd9

With a move of your hand

Em7 Cadd9

You'd make me land

Some place new

[Bridge]

Em7 Dadd11/F# Cadd9

And now it's my time to know

Em7

And everything's spinning around

Dadd11/F# Cadd9 C(#9)

Got too much to lose

[Chorus]

G Dadd11/F#

When I was high, I was alone

Em7

You said you weren't sure

Cadd9

And you didn't know

Em7 Cadd9

But I won't play

Em7 Dadd11/F#

Play your game

G Dadd11/F#

When I was up, you put me down

Em7 Cadd9

Thought that you could just spin me around

Em7 Cadd9

With a move of your hand

Em7 Cadd9

You'd make me land

Em7 Cadd9

With a move of your hand

Em7 Cadd9

You'd make me land
