Intro  G  C  G  C 
 
Verse 
          G 
Well, it took a little time 
        C 
But I guess you finally learned  
       G    D/F#   Em 
That promises get broken 
     Am                D 
And bridges do get burned 
              G 
You've been sifting through the ashes 
        B               C 
Just trying to find a flame 
  C              G 
Holdin on to nothing 
           D             G 
You're a victim of the game 
 
           G 
You were standin way too close  
     C 
To see it all fall apart 
                 G          D/F#     Em 
And there were things you couldn't hear 
              Am                D 
'Cause you listenin with your heart 
               G 
But you can't say I didn't warn you  
            B                C 
Now there's no one else to blame 
        C                 G 
There's no one quite as blind  
        D            G 
As a victim of the game 
 
 
Chorus 
               G      C 
And it don't matter who you are 
            G   D        B 
It treats everyone the same  
 Am                D 
All you need's a heart 
          C     D       G 
To be a victim of the game 
 
 
Verse 
               G 
You know it's really gettin to you 
           C 
When you take to tellin lies 
              G     D/F#       Em 
And you can try to fool your friends 
               Am              D 
But you can't look 'em in the eye 
        G 
There ain't no standing tall 
         B             C 
In the shadow of the shame 
       C          D 
When everybody knows 
              D            G 
That your a victim of the game 
 
 
Chorus 
                G     C 
And it don't matter who you are  
           G    D        B 
It treats everyone the same 
 Am                D 
All you need's a heart  
          C     D       G 
To be a victim of the game 
 
 
Bridge 
                     G             B 
Oh you know when I look into your eyes 
         D              C 
I can really feel the pain 
  C             D 
Starin in the mirror 
                     G   D   C   G 
At a victim of the game
