Chorus:
Am               E
I don't want to make my mind up
F            C     E
Is it all a game, game?
Am               E
I don't want to read your lips
   F                   C E
I don't care what you say
Am              E
I'll forget you if you leave me
F                 C   E
I'll forget your face
 Am                  E
Don't come running when you need it
F                  C
All this child's play
E        Am  E
Child's play
F                  C  E
All this child's play

Am                     E
Ring around the rosie, I
            F                            C E
You keep pretending you don't know me, why?
             Am                           E
You call my phone and say you're lonely, hi
             F                          C  E
You're only lonely when you're home at night

       Am
You're ringing my, ringing my phone
    E
Calling when I'm not home
       F
Make plans and you don't show
      C                     E
Bro, how am I supposed to know?
        Am
Then I let it all, let it all go
    E
Pretending that it's over
    F
We finally got closure
     C               E       Am E F C E
But then I hear my phone buzz

Chorus:
I don't want to make my mind up
Is it all a game, game?
I don't want to read your lips
I don't care what you say
I'll forget you if you leave me
I'll forget your face
Don't come running when you need it
All this child's play
Child's play
All this child's play

I know that everybody thinks you're shy
But they don't see you when you're halfway high
Spinnin' out and all your friends ask why
You're only lonely when you're home at night

You're ringing my, ringing my phone
Calling when I'm not home
Make plans and you don't show
Bro, how am I supposed to know?
Then I let it all, let it all go
Pretending that it's over
We finally got closure
But then I hear my phone buzz

Chorus:
I don't want to make my mind up
Is it all a game, game?
I don't want to read your lips
I don't care what you say
I'll forget you if you leave me
I'll forget your face
Don't come running when you need it
All this child's play
Child's play
All this child's play

I don't want to make my mind up
Is it all a game, game?
