Cm
I'm about to lose the allusion, my heart
Fm
Pictures that I thought that could faint
A#
Colours I’ve just come along getting blurred
         G
Like it ain’t never gonna be the same
       Cm
And I know that I've messed up with the chances I got
Fm
All I do is try to make it right
A#
All I do is try to make it right
            G
Guess I'll do this all my life

Chorus:
Cm                       Fm
Nothing ever seems to be easy
A#                       D#
All I do is stand in the rain
Cm                         Fm
I don't really know how to get there
     A#                             D#
Just tell me 'bout the rules of the game
Cm                       Fm
Everybody says that I'm dreaming
    A#                           D#
But I'm just tryna cope with the pain
Cm                          Fm
I don't really care for the rumours
      A#                             D#
Just tell me 'bout the rules of the game

        Cm                       Fm
Wanna play (Wanna play), wanna play (Play)
       A#                                D#
But I don't know 'bout the rules of the game
        Cm                       Fm
Wanna play (Wanna play), wanna play (Play)
       A#                                D#
But I don't know 'bout the rules of the game

Images of colour giving peace to my heart
Taking all the doubts from my mind
Catch your body echo of the words I’ve said—"Please"
To let me keep up with the time
And I hope there'll be any other chances I get
And I hope I can take them with the mood that I have
Anything can make me get in close, but instead
Everything is pushing me away

Chorus

Wanna play (Wanna play), wanna play (Play)
But I don't know 'bout the rules of the game
Wanna play (Wanna play), wanna play (Play)
But I don't know 'bout the rules,
don't know 'bout the rules of the game

Chorus

Wanna play (Wanna play), wanna play (Play)
But I don't know 'bout the rules of the game
Wanna play (Wanna play), wanna play (Play)
But I don't know 'bout the rules,
don't know 'bout the rules of the game
But I don't know 'bout the rules,
don't know 'bout the rules of the game
