Game of the Heart

He laid his eyes on her. She succumbed to the glance.

C G F F7 G

When she looked at him, he knew he had to take a chance,

Am Em F Dm

And they knew right then

Am Em F

That the game would begin

The game of the heart.

C G F F7 G C G F F7 Dm

C G F F7 G

Then they were always seen together.

C G F F7 G

They never thought of the other as a nether,

Am Em F Dm

Because they played their part

Am Em F

Right from the start

In the game of the heart.

C Am F G

One time he said to her, “You know I love you”

C Am F G

And she said to him, “Dear I love you too.”

C Em F G

And when they’re lost in the illusion of love true

C Em F G

They reminisce about the games they once played through

C Am Em Dm

But how can this last when the game they play is new

C Am Em Dm

And they can’t learn from the past to know what to do

In the game of the heart?

C G F F7 G C G F F7 Dm

C G F F7 G

He drifted away

C G F F7 G

And she said she could not stay

Am Em F Dm

Because they already knew

Am Em F

That they were bound to lose

In the game of the heart.

In the game of the heart?

Am Em

They knew they had to part

C G F Dm

In the Game… In this game (You have to play without rules)

C G F Dm

In the Game… In this game (There’s no officials, just fools)

C G F Dm

In the Game… In this game

There is no safe place

You just have to face

C G F

That in this Game

F7 F C

You just break your heart.
