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
