...Chords... [Verse 1]
A
I'd say it was the right time
To walk away
A
When dreaming takes you nowhere
It's time to play
               G
Bodies working overtime
Your money don't matter
G
The time keeps ticking

                           D
Someone's on your mind
(on your mind) [Verse 2]
A
I'm moving in slow motion
Feels so good
A
It's a strange anticipation
Knock, knock, knocking on wood
               G
Bodies working overtime
It's Man against man
G
And all that ever matters

                            D
Is baby who's ahead in the game

               Bb             C
Funny but it's always the same
[Chorus]
F                             Bb
Playing, playing with the boys

F                             Bb
Staying, playing with the boys

G                    A
After chasing sunsets

Bb                       C
One of life's simple joys

                        D
Is playing with the boys

[Verse 3] She said it was the wrong thing For me to do I said it's just a boys' game That girls play too My heart is working overtime In this kind of game People get hurt I'm thinkin that the people is me If you want to find me, I'll be... -[Chorus 2]- [Middle Section]
D
I don't want to be the moth around your fire
...with the boys
D
I don't want to be obsessed by my desire

G             A
Your shining, Your smiling

Bb              D
I've seen enough
...with the boys
G
I'm staying here

A                 Bh
You play too rough
[Last Chorus] Playing, playing with the boys I'll be staying, playing with the boys After chasing sunsets One of life's simple joys Is playing with the boys Playing with the boys Playing Playing Playing Playing......
