Echo & the Bunnymen – The Game (Guitar Acoustic)

C
A sense of duty was my one intention

       G
And an ugly beauty was my own invention

C
Pride hooked on your refusal

    G
And I refuse to need your approval

C
Too many seekers too few beacons

     G
But through the fog we'll keep on beaming

             F
Through the crying hours of your glitter years

         C
All the living out of your tinsel tears

        F
And the midnight trains that I never made

              C
‘cause I'd already

 G          C           G
Played the game

C
Everybody's got their own good reason

           G
Why their favorite season is their favorite season

C
Winter winners and those summers sons

                 G
Aren't good for everyone aren't good for everyone

C
Spring has sprung and autumns well done so well done

        G
And now I must do what has to be done

       F
It's a better thing that we do now

            C
Forgetting everything the whys and hows

           F
While you reminisce about the things you miss

              C
You won't be ready

   G        C
To kiss goodbye

                C
The earth is a world

                D
The world is a ball

             G
A ball in a game with no rules at all

               C
And just as I wonder

                    D
At the beauty of it all

            G
You go and drop it and it breaks and falls

            F
I'll never understand why you thought I would

            C
Need to be reassured and be understood

       F
And I always knew that your bad's my good

           C
And I was ready

   G    C
to be   loved

C
A sense of duty was my one intention

       G
And an ugly beauty was my own invention

C
Pride hooked on your refusal

    G
And I refuse to need your approval

 F
Understand why you thought I would

            C
Need to be reassured and be understood

       F
And I always knew that your bad's my good

           C
And I was ready

   G
to be

        F
It's a better thing that we do now

            C
Forgetting everything the whys and hows

           F
While you reminisce about the things you miss

              C
You won't be ready

    G

             F
