Comment for any corrections and please rate
Dm
So here I am once more
Bb C
In the playground of the broken hearts
Gm F
One more experience, one more entry
Em Dm
In a diary, self penned
Bb C
Yet another emotional sui-cide
Am Dm
Overdosed on sentiments and pride
Cm G
Too late to say I love you
Cm G
Too late to restage the play
Cm G
Abandoning the relics
D G
In my playground of yesterday
D A F#m Bm
D A F#m Bm
D A
I'm losing on the swings
F#m Bm
I'm losing on the roundabouts
D A
I'm losing on the swings
F#m Bm
I'm losing on the roundabouts
D A
Too much, too soon, too far to go ( play D then on the drums A-F#m then Bm)
F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm
Too late to play the game is over
D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm
The game is over
A D Bm F#m A D A Bm
G A Bm G
A Bm G
So here I am once more
A Bm G
In the playground of the broken hearts
A Bm G
I'm losing on the swings
A Bm G
I'm losing on the roundabouts
A Bm G Bm G Bm G Bm G
The game is over, over, over...
Bm G
Yet another emotional suicide
A Bm G
Overdosed on sentiments and pride
A Bm G
I'm losing on the swings
A Bm G
I'm losing on the roundabouts
A Bm G A Bm G A Bm G A Bm G
The game is over
A Bm G
Too late to say, "I love you"
A Bm G
Too late to restage the play
Em
The game is over
Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m
I act the role in classic style
Em Bm A F#m
Of a martyr carved with twisted smile
Em Bm A F#m
To bleed the lyric for this song
Em Bm A F#m
To write the rights to right my wrongs
A G F G
An epitaph to a broken dream
A G F G
To exercise this silent scream
Em Bm A F#m Em Bm A F#m
A scream that's born from sorrow
Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m
I never did write that love song
Em Bm A F#m
The words just never seemed to flow
Em Bm A F#m
Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection
Em Bm A F#m
And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
A G F G
And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
A G F G A F# E B
Promised wedding now awake, promised wedding now awake, awake, awake, awake,
Abm A F#m B
Abm A
The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry
F#m B
Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why
Abm A
As you grow up and leave the playground where you kissed your prince and found your frog
F#m B
Remember the jester that showed you tears
Abm A F#m B
The script for tears
Abm A
So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
F#m B
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
Abm A
Has gone solo in the game
F#m B
I've gone solo in the game (at the F#m here you can play the bass notes D C# F# to get a correct sound)
Abm A F#m B
But the game is over
Abm
Can you still say you love me?
A
Can you still say you love me?
F#m B
Can you still say that you love me?
Abm
Do you love me, do you love me?
A
Do you love me, do you love me?
F#m B
Do you love me just as you did (same here)
Abm
Can you still say you love me?
A
Can you still say you love me?
F#m B
Can you still say that you love me?
Abm A F#m B Abm
Just as did, just as did
A F#m B AbmA
...
Do you love me? Do you love me, do you love me?
