Say you are the [Dm] one small
In the playground of [A#] the [C] broken heart
One more experience, one [F] more entry
In [Em] a diary [Dm] self-hurt
Yet another [A#] emotional [C] suicide
Overdosed on sentiment [Dm] and pride
[Cm] Too late [G] to say I love you
Too [Cm] late to restage the play
[Cm]
Abandoning the [G] relics
In my [D] playground of [G] yesterday
[F#m]
[C#m] Losing [F#m] on the swings
I'm losing on the [D] roundabouts
I'm losing on the [F#m] swings
I'm losing on the roundabouts
Too much, too soon, too far to go
Too late to play
The game [F#m] is [D] over
[F#m]

[Bm]
[G] [B]
[Bm] [G] [B] So here I [Bm] am once [G] more
In the playground [A] of the broken heart
[G] I'm
[B] losing on the swings
I'm losing on the [Bm] roundabouts
[G]
The game [Bm] is over
[B] [Bm] [G]
[Bm]
[Em] [G] [Bm] [G]
[F#m] [Bm] [G] Emotional suicide
[B] [Bm] Overdosed on [G] sentiment and pride
I'm [Bm] losing on the swings
[G] I'm losing on the roundabouts Roundabouts
[G] Too
[Bm]
[G] [Bm]
[F#m]
[Bm] [G] [B] [Bm]
late to restage [G] the play
It's [Em] over
[E]
I have the only place in time
In a mind to [Bm] keep the Christmas [E] smile
To read the lyric for the song
To write, write, to write my love
[A] I've [Em] read the taff [F] to let the open door
[A] To [Em] emphasize the sound of scream
The [E] scream that's known for its sorrow
I'll [B] never be drunk at [E] love's song
The words just seem to flow
[E] I'll sat in reflection
To the days with affection
An exam, the shadows on the other side of morning
[A] An exam, the shadows [F] on the other side [G] of morning
Promised [A] wedding, now I [F] wait
[Em] Promised wedding, now [A] I wait
[F#m]
[E] [B]
[G#m] [A]
[F#m] [B]
[G#m] You feel the skate through paradise
[A] With a little home on your shoulder and cry
[F#m] Sentence you want avenues
[B] And struggle to answer why
[G#m] As you go up and leave the playground
[A] Where you kissed your grips and found you're [F#m] wrong
The night by the chest that [B] showed you tears
The script, [G#m] the watching, the [A] answers
[F#m] [B]
[G#m] So I'll hold my peace forever
[A] When you wear your bride of youth
[F#m] And the sirens of my chain, the [B] mutes that sang
The siren song [G#m] has gone solo [A] in the game
I'll [D] go [F#m] solo in [B] the game
But the game [G#m] is over, [A] over
Can
[F#m] [B] you [G#m] still say you love me?
Can [A] you still say you love me?
Can [F#m] you still say [B] that you love me?
That [G#m] just missed tears, [A] tears
Do
[F#m] [B] [G#m] you love me?
Do you love me?
[A] Do you love me?
Do you love me?
[F#m]
[B] With just those tears, with [G#m] just those tears
[F#m] [B] [E]
[Em] [G] [N]
