Dawes – The Game (Guitar Solo)

E                                                   C#m
Millie came up playing in the boys’ clubs, but they made her play at midnight or at eight

    B                                                        A                             E
Her friends all said the times were finally changin’, and it only felt a few centuries too late

E                                                C#m
Her eyes were always deep inside a notebook, her hands were always tuning her guitar

          B                                      A                          E
And while some stay busy waiting for permission, she was on her way to be a star

A
And if you’d asked her if anyone had held her back

E                                         C#m
She’d tell you she’d forgot most of their names

           B
‘Cause the losers only think about the winners

    A                            E
The winners only think about the game

E                                                   C#m
And then Millie fell in love with a civilian, or at least we know he fell in love with her

B                                              A                               E
He could see how bright her light was shining, he could feel how wild her fire burned

E                                          C#m
But love has its own kind of symmetry, you have to give as much as you receive

    B                                                 A                                 E
And once he realized he could never give her nothing, he decided it was time for him to leave

A
But now he likes to criticize her privately

          E                                C#m
While she simply says that neither were to blame

           B
‘Cause the losers only think about the winners

A                                E
The winners only think about the game

E                                        C#m
So Millie kept on adding to the setlist, working on her studio ten

            B                                                A                                   E
And for the first time found it hard telling the difference, between all her friends and all her fans

E                                                     C#m
Which left her with a special brand of emptiness, she channelled right back into the songs

    B                                         A                                  E
She wasn’t gonna ask herself the question, if this is what she wanted all along

A
Some people said she was a genius

E                        C#m
Some people said she was insane

    B
But those losers only talk about the winners

A                                      E
And those winners only think about the game

E                                              C#m
So Millie knew just when the dust was settled, when it’s time to put the pencil down

     B                                         A                                   E
When the harmony is only just a shadow, of the way it felt the first hundred times around

E                                                C#m
Which left it to the critics and the experts, to tell the world how Millie really felt

   B                                          A                         E
To somehow say she lost some competition, she was only ever having with herself

A
Some might look for meaning in the ashes

E                               C#m 
She just misses standing in the flames

             B
‘Cause those losers only think about the winners

        A                            E
And the winners only think about the game

           B
Oh-oh, the losers only think about the winners

    A                            E
The winners only think about the game
