[Verse 1]
             C                    G
I played the game, still it's not worth it
       Am           F
Like a woman in the rain
           C
I close my eyes
           G
I'm on the shelf
       C    Csus4 C
I know myself
 
[Verse 2]
              C               G
I've seen the lights of every city
         Am               F
Tried to work out where I am
           C            G
I close my mind for the day
           C  Csus4 C
I know the way
 
[Verse 3]
             C                    G
I played the game, still it's not worth it
       Am           F
Like a woman in the rain
              C
So I close my eyes 
           G
I'm on the shelf
       C   Csus4 C
I know myself

E                     Am
There's never ever anybody to rely on
E                             Am
There isn't time to count the shoulders I have cried on
C                 Bb       F              C
That's just circumstances, I must take my chances
     Bb          F                C
But, baby you don't know what I'm saying
      Bb               F                         C
But I guess that's not true, and you know that's true
              Bb     F     C
But there's a method to my madness
 
[Verse 4]
             C                    G
I played the game, still it's not worth it
       Am           F
Like a woman in the rain
              C            G
So I close my eyes for the day
           C Csus4 C
I know the way
