Verse
DmLong agCo, GI was told there were riches inside of me
DmSomeone ColGd hid the gold and the finding was my affair
DmIn those CdGays when my ears heard a story, my mind believed
DmSo I seaBbrchGed with my greed in the sunshine for all to see there
Chorus
CI'Dmm iFn Gover my head in this game
COvDmer Fmy Ghead
CAnDmd I'm aFfraiFd I'Gm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
Yes you know many tried, none succeeded my mind (my mind), to train
When the fools came to lay down their money I laughed (I laughed), uncool
Saw the mouth of the whale just in time to go down (go down) the drain
Now I float with my boat in the darkness and play the fool
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
...To find my way back to where I've been
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been
I'm in over my head in this game
Over my head
And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been (My way back to where I've been)
...To find my way back to where I've been (To find my way back to where I've been)

Verse

Dm C G

Long ago, I was told there were riches inside of me

Dm C G

Someone old hid the gold and the finding was my affair

Dm C G

In those days when my ears heard a story, my mind believed

Dm Bb G

So I searched with my greed in the sunshine for all to see there

Chorus

C Dm F G

I'm in over my head in this game

C Dm F G

Over my head

C Dm F F G

And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been

Yes you know many tried, none succeeded my mind (my mind), to train

When the fools came to lay down their money I laughed (I laughed), uncool

Saw the mouth of the whale just in time to go down (go down) the drain

Now I float with my boat in the darkness and play the fool

I'm in over my head in this game

Over my head

And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been

I'm in over my head in this game

Over my head

And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been

...To find my way back to where I've been

I'm in over my head in this game

Over my head

And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been

I'm in over my head in this game

Over my head

And I'm afraid I'm never gonna find my way back to where I've been (My way back to where I've been)

...To find my way back to where I've been (To find my way back to where I've been)
