          Dm
 So here I am once more
              Bb  C
 In the playground of the broken hearts
       Gm        F
 One more experience, one more entry
    Em     Dm
 In a diary, self penned
            Bb C
 Yet another emotional suicide
        A        Dm
 Overdosed on sentiments and pride

Cm         G
 Too late to say I love you
   Cm          G
 Too late to restage the play
  Cm      G
 Abandoning the relics
     D         G
 In my playground of yesterday

D A F#m Bm
D A F#m Bm

   D       A
 I'm losing on the swings
   F#m      Bm
 I'm losing on the roundabouts
   D       A
 I'm losing on the swings
   F#m      Bm
 I'm losing on the roundabouts
 D          A
 Too much, too soon, too far to go         (play D then on the drums A-F#m then Bm)
 F#m      Bm      D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm
 Too late to play the game is over
       D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm D A F#m Bm
 The game is over

A D Bm F#m A D A Bm
G   A Bm    G

 A Bm         G
 So here I am once more
            A  Bm     G
 In the playground of the broken hearts
 A  Bm         G
 I'm losing on the swings
         A Bm     G
 I'm losing on the roundabouts
     A Bm        G  Bm  G  Bm  G  Bm  G
 The game is over, over, over...

 Bm        G
 Yet another emotional suicide
A Bm         G
 Overdosed on sentiments and pride
 A  Bm         G
 I'm losing on the swings
         A Bm     G
 I'm losing on the roundabouts
     A Bm  G  A Bm   G  A Bm   G  A Bm   G
 The game is over

 A  Bm       G
 Too late to say, "I love you"
 A  Bm          G
 Too late to restage the play
       Em
 The game is over

Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m

  Em    Bm    A      F#m
 I act the role in classic style
    Em   Bm      A      F#m
 Of a martyr carved with twisted smile
   Em    Bm  A      F#m
 To bleed the lyric for this song
   Em    Bm    A       F#m
 To write the rights to right my wrongs
  A  G     F     G
 An epitaph to a broken dream
  A  G     F      G
 To exercise this silent scream
   Em Bm A    F#m    Em Bm A F#m
 A scream  that's born from sorrow

Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m

  Em     Bm    A    F#m
 I never did write that love song
   Em     Bm        A F#m
 The words just never seemed to flow
   Em    Bm      A        F#m
 Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection
    Em     Bm      A         F#m
 And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
    A      G      F         G
 And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
      A       G F     G      A       F#     E  B
 Promised wedding now awake, promised wedding now awake, awake, awake, awake,

Abm A F#m B

   Abm                 A
 The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry
 F#m               B
 Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why
     Abm                    A
 As you grow up and leave the playground where you kissed your prince and found your frog
F#m                  B
 Remember the jester that showed you tears
         Abm A F#m B
 The script for tears

     Abm              A
 So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
     F#m                B
 In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
      Abm   A
 Has gone solo in the game
      F#m     B
 I've gone solo in the game  <----(at the F#m here you can play the bass notes D C# F# to get a correct sound)
         Abm A F#m B
 But the game is over

      Abm
 Can you still say you love me?
      A
 Can you still say you love me?
      F#m        B
 Can you still say that you love me?
     Abm
 Do you love me, do you love me?
     A
 Do you love me, do you love me?
     F#m         B
 Do you love me just as you did  <-----(same here)

      Abm
 Can you still say you love me?
      A
 Can you still say you love me?
      F#m        B
 Can you still say that you love me?
     Abm     A  F#m  B  Abm
 Just as did, just as did
     A        F#m           B  Abm  A ...
