The Game by Echo & The Bunnymen (1987)
Intro
F, Em Dm, C, C,
G, C, C, G, G
C
A sense of duty was my one intention
G
and an ugly beauty was my own invention
C
Pride a proud refusal
G
I refuse to need your approval
C
Too many seekers, too few beacons
G
But through the fog, we'll keep on beaming
F
Through the crying hours
Em
of your glittery years
Dm C
all the living out, of your tinsel tears
F
and the midnight trains, I never made
Em Dm C
'cos I'd already
G C, C, G, G
played...the game
C
Everybody's got their own good reason
G
why their favorite season, is their favorite season
C
Winter winners and those summers suns
G
aren't good for everyone, aren't good for everyone
C
Spring has sprung and autumns
G
So well done, so well done
F
And it's a better thing
Em
that we do now,
Dm C
forgetting everything, the whys and hows
F
While you reminisce
Em
about the things you miss
Dm C G C D, G, G
you won't be ready, to kiss...goodbye
G C
The earth is a world
D
The world is a ball
G
A ball in a game with no rules at all
C
And just as I wonder
D
at the beauty of it all
G
you go and drop it and it breaks when it falls
F
I'll never understand
Em
why you thought I would
Dm C
need to be reassured and be understood
F
When I always knew
Em
that your bad's my good
Dm C
and I was ready
G C
ready...to be loved
C, G, G, C, C, G, G
C
Born under Mars
G
With Jupiter rising
C
Fallen from stars
G
That lit my horizon
F
I'll never understand
Em
why you thought I would
Dm C
need to be reassured and be understood
F Em
When I always knew that your bad's my good
Dm C G
and I was ready, ready...to be
F
Through the crying hours
Em
of your glittery years
Dm C
all the living out of your tinsel tears
F
and the midnight trains
Em Dm C G
I never made 'cos I'd al-ready played
F
and it's a better thing
Em Dm
that we do now forgetting
C
Everything the whys and hows
F Em
While you reminisce about the things you miss
Dm C G C
you won't be ready to kiss...goodbye
