Capo: 1st fret
[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7 C7 F Dm7
All your expectations of my love are impossible
G7
Surely you know,
C Cmaj7
That I'm not easy to hold
C7 F Dm7 G7
It's so sad how incapable of learning to grow I am
C Cmaj7
My heart speaks in puzzles and codes
C7 F Dm7
I've been trying my whole life to solve
G7
God only knows how I've cried
C Cmaj7
I can't take another defeat
C7 F Dm7
A next time would be the ending of me
G7
Now that I see, ee-ee, ee-ee
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7 C7 F
That love (Ooh-ooh) is a game (Ooh-ooh) for fools to play (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Dm7
And I ain't fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
G7
To self-inflict that pain, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
C Cmaj7 C7 F
Love (Ooh-ooh) is a game (Ooh-ooh) for fools to play (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Dm7
And I ain't fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
G7
To self-inflict that pain
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7
How unbelievable (Unbelievable)
C7 F Dm7
Of me to fall, for the lies that I tell? (Lies I tell)
G7
The dream that I sell? (Dream I sell)
C Cmaj7
When my heart ache, it's inevitable (It's inevitable)
C7 F
But I'm no good at doing it well
Dm7
Not that I care (I don't care)
G7
Why should anything about it be fair?
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7 C7 F
That love (Ooh-ooh) is a game (Ooh-ooh) for fools to play (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I ain't fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
G7
To self-inflict that pain, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
C Cmaj7 C7 F
Love (Ooh-ooh) is a game (Ooh-ooh) for fools to play (Ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I ain't fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
G7
To self-inflict that pain
[Bridge]
Em C7 F
No amount of love, can keep me satisfied (Satisfied, satisfied)
Em
I can't keep up (Can't keep up, can't keep up)

When I keep changing my mind (Change my mind, change my mind)

The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise
