Their Game

Their Game Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We live we die, we love we try, we do the best we can Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We learn we teach, we burn we preach, we try to make a plan Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We make connections, we change directions, we smile and we cry Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We find the souls that make us whole, sometimes we say goodbye Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We kiss we hug, we miss we shrug, it all can be unfair Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C F G C Csus4 C Csus4 C We speak we hear, we ignore we fear, it all can be repaired F G Am F My world is yours and yours is mine we're different but the same F G C G They've got us playing checkers, while a part of their chess game F G Am F You claim that I've been kinged unfairly right from the start F G C G C Csus4 C Csus4 C But I'm a pawn like you moving a space or two, while sacrificed and torn apart Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We spend, we save, we took, we gave, we feign indifference Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We hurt, we blame, we heal, we abstain, we seek belligerence Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We sleep, we dream, we wake, we scream, until we're out of breath Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We're kind, we're cruel, we're wise, we're fools, no one can out run death Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C We post, we care, gorilla warfare, the draft has been disguised Em Am Dm G7 C Csus4 C F G C Csus4 C We vote, how nice, we roll loaded dice, and then we act surprised F G Am F My world is yours and yours is mine we're different but the same F G C G They've got us playing checkers, while a part of their chess game F G Am F You claim that I've been kinged unfairly right from the start F G C G C Csus4 C Csus4 C But I'm a pawn like you moving a space or two, while sacrificed and torn apart (chorus v2) F G Am F Your world is mine and mine is yours we're different but we're not F G C G Each time we start to get along they remind us we forgot F G Am F That hatred grows and germinates oddly about every 4 years F G C G C Csus4 C And the ballots are steered and covered and smeared by grieving widows and children's tears
