Now we play our final hand

Move in closer, understand

C                           Csus2/B        Am
This time like never before only the black queen scores

F                     Fsus2/C        C    Am
A card so high and so wild we should burn it

There are people I have loved

C                  Csus2/B         Am
Hypnotized by lies in defensive disguise

F                    Fsus2/C        C    Am
Some say protect and survive; I say it's over
