          C#         C#6      G#
You've a certain sartorial eloquence
       F#                         C#
And a style that's almost of your own
F#              C#               G#/C  G#
You've got the knack of being so laid-back
           F#                     C#
It's like talking to the great unknown

       Fm    A#m              C#/G#       F#
You've got a self-sufficient swept-back hairdo
        C#                         G#
Pretty certain that you've got it made
         C#/F        F#m          A#m7        D#m
Oh your life-style shows in the clothes you chose
         F#            G#    C#
Sitting pretty in the masquerade

Chorus:
Sing it
 C#                          G#
Don't you want to play this game no more
 F#                     C#
Don't you want to play no more
 A#7                         D#m7
Don't you want to play this game no more
 F#                G#7     C#
Don't you want to play no more

You remain the only main contender
Though you never, you never meant to lose at all
Down at the mouth yet unsurrounded
Adamant before the fall

Though when you go you know I might be lonesome
But I'll keep it under close control
Go and get your kicks and babe let's call it quits
I believe I'm feeling indisposed

Don't you want to play this game no more
When you go you know I might be lonesome
But I'll keep it under close control
Go and get your kicks and babe let's call it quits
I believe I'm feeling indisposed

Chorus

 C#                          G#  F#
Don't you want to play this game
                             C#
Don't you want to play this game

When you go you know I might be lonesome
But I'll keep it under close control
Go and get your kicks and babe, let's call that quits
I believe I'm feeling indisposed, sing it

Chorus - x2

Don't you want to play no more
Don't you want to play no more
