'I know the game' by Jamie Walters
intro and verse 1:
Am F G Am F G
Time to pay the rent, baby, gotta try and work harder
Really goin' nowhere fast, you're not goin' much farther
Gotta take a break, baby, try and make my load lighter
I'm missin' somethin' that I need, never been much of a fighter
Bridge:
D E F G
Well, maybe I made a few mistakes
But baby, you know they were mine to make
Chorus:
Am F G
I know the game but I don't want to play it
I know the word but I don't want to say it
I've got the bill but I don't want to pay it
I know the game but I ain't gonna play it this time
verse 2:
Am F G Am F G
You watch me like a hawk, baby, I know somethin's gotta give
Listen to the way you talk, baby, this ain't no way to live
Everything I don't have, well, it all belongs to you
I'm doin' the best that I can, baby what you want me to do
Bridge:
D E F G
Well, maybe I made a few mistakes
But baby, you know they were mine to make
Chorus:
Am F G
I know the game but I don't want to play it
I know the word but I don't want to say it
I've got the bill but I don't want to pay it
I know the game but I ain't gonna play it this time
bridge after 2nd Chorus:
G Dm Bb F E
The old ways are dead and gone, the door is open wide
Anything can happen now, you can see me
I'm standin' on a thin line
solo over Am / F / G
Bridge:
D E F G
Well, maybe I made, a few mistakes
But baby you know, they were mine to make
Chorus:
Am F G
I know the game but I don't want to play it
I know the word but I don't want to say it
I've got the bill but I don't want to pay it
I know the game
I know the game but I don't want to play it
I know the word but I don't want to say it
I've got the bill but I don't want to pay it
I know the game but I ain't gonna play it this time
I ain't gonna play it, not this time
