Am        G/A Am             F/A           G/A
Daylight, alright, I don't know, I don't know if
it's real
        Am   F/A        G/A             Am
Been a long night, and something ain't right,
          F/A             G/A
you won't show, you won't show how you feel

No time ever seems right
To talk about the reasons why you and I fight
It's high time to draw the line
Put an end to this game before it's too late

Chorus:
 G    Am         G/A                     C/A
Head games, it's you and me, baby, head games,
             D/A
and I can't take it anymore
 G    Am       G/A
Head games, I don't wanna play the head
 C/A C#sus4/G#
games

I daydream for hours, it seems
I keep thinking of you, yeah, thinking of you
These daydreams, what do they mean?
They keep haunting me, are they warning me?

Daylight turns into night
We try and find the answer but it's nowhere in sight
It's always the same and you know who's to blame
You know what I'm saying, still we keep on playing

Chorus:
Head games, that's all I get from you
Head games and I can't take it anymore
Head games, don't want to play the
Head games

Am F/A  G/A     Am       F/A
So near, so far away, we pass each other by
                  G/A
'cause we don't know what to say
     Am F/A        G/A      Am      F/A
It's so clear, I'm sorry to say, but if you wanna
              G/A
win you gotta learn how to play

Chorus:
Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'til I can't take it anymore
Head games, instead of making love
Head games, oh

Head games, always you and me, baby
Head games, 'til I can't take it anymore
No more head games, instead of making love
We play head games

Head games in the first degree
Head games, yeah, always you and me
Head games, why do we do it, baby?
Head games, I've been through it, baby
