G   Em   G   C
G                    
Well it took a little time
      C
But I guess you finally learned
     G        D   Em
That promises get broken
    C              D
And bridges do get burned
            G                   D
You've been siftin' through the ashes
G                     Em
Just tryin' to find a flame
C       D     G
Holdin' on to nothin'
G        D             G    G G D
You're a victim of the game
         G                
You were standin' way too close
   C
To see it all fall apart
               G                   Em
And there were things you couldn't hear
 Em                                 D
'Cause you were listenin' with your heart
    G                      Em
But you can't say I didn't warn you
G                          C
Now there's no one else to blame
C              D        G
There's on one quite as blind
     D             G
As a victim of the game
G            C      F       C
And it don't matter who you are
Em        G        F   Em    
It treats everyone the same
C                D      Em  D
All you need's a heart
C       D             G    
To be a victim of the game
G   Em   C  G    G G D
D             G
You know it's really gettin' to you
C
When you take to tellin' lies
            G      D         Em
And you can try to fool your friends
                              D
But you can't look 'em in the eyes
Em             G
There ain't no standin' tall
       D             C
In the shadow of the shame
          D    G
When everybody knows
              D             G
That you're a victim of the game
G            C      F       C
And it don't matter who you are
Em        G        F   Em
It treats everyone the same
C                D
All you need's a heart
C       D             G
To be a victim of the game
G                            C    G
Oh you know when I look into your eyes
Em                    C
I can really feel the pain
C
Starin' in the mirror
     G      D  F   Em
