The Game

E                                 
Millie came up playing in the 
                  C#
boys’ clubs, but they made her play 
at midnight or at eight
    B                              
Her friends all said the times were
                          A        
 finally changin’, and it only felt
                     E
 a few centuries too late
E                                 
Her eyes were always deep inside a
               C#
 notebook, her hands were always 
tuning her guitar
          B                        
And while some stay busy waiting 
              A                    
for permission, she was on her way 
      E
to be a star

[Chorus 1]
E
And if you’d asked her if anyone had
 held her back
      C#                           
She’d tell you she’d forgot most of
       E
 their names
           B
‘Cause the losers only think about 
the winners
    A                           
The winners only think about the 
 E
game

[Verse 2]
E                                 
And then Millie fell in love with 
                  C#
a civilian, or at least we know he 
fell in love with her
B                                 
He could see how bright her light 
             A                     
was shining, he could feel how wild
          E
 her fire burned
E                          
But love has its own kind of 
                C#
symmetry, you have to give as much 
as you receive
    B                              
And once he realized he could never
                   A               
 give her nothing, he decided it 
                  E
was time for him to leave

[Chorus 2]
E
But now he likes to criticize her 
privately
          C#                       
While she simply says that neither 
        E
were to blame
           B
‘Cause the losers only think about 
the winners
A                                
The winners only think about the 
E
game

[Verse 3]
E                             
So Millie kept on adding to the 
           C#
setlist, working on her studio ten
            B                      
And for the first time found it 
                          A        
hard telling the difference, 
                           E
between all her friends and all her 
fans
E                                 
Which left her with a special 
                    C#
brand of emptiness, she channelled 
right back into the songs
    B                           
She wasn’t gonna ask herself the 
              A                    
question, if this is what she 
              E
wanted all along

[Chorus 3]
E
Some people said she was a genius
C#                       E
Some people said she was insane
    B
But those losers only talk about the
 winners
A                                 
And those winners only think about
     E
 the game

[Verse 4]
E                                 
So Millie knew just when the dust 
             C#
was settled, when it’s time to put 
the pencil down
     B                         
When the harmony is only just a 
                A                  
shadow, of the way it felt the 
                 E
first hundred times around
E                                 
Which left it to the critics and 
               C#
the experts, to tell the world how 
Millie really felt
   B                        
To somehow say she lost some 
                  A           
competition, she was only ever 
              E
having with herself

[Chorus 4]
E
Some might look for meaning in the 
ashes
C#                            
She just misses standing in the 
  E
flames
             B
‘Cause those losers only think about
 the winners
        A                          
And the winners only think about 
  E
the game
           B
Oh-oh, the losers only think about 
the winners
    A                           
The winners only think about the 
 E
game
