[Verse 1]
C#
When I was young, I played video 
games
Ebm
Castles and dungeons and damsels to 
save
      F#                        C#
Every night in the dark I would play

C#
I played on a flickering color TV
  Ebm
I played with my forehead pressed up
 to the screen
      F#                         
And I played until I would catch 
C#
fire

[Refrain]
    F            Bbm               
And for a little while I knew that 
F#         C#
I couldn't lose

F               Bbm              
Nothing in the world could tear 
   F#
me away

[Verse 2]
C#
When I grew up, I played video games
   Ebm
In basement apartments and empty 
arcades
       F#                       C#
And I learned it was all just a joke

C#
There were no kingdoms or damsels to
 free
   Ebm
No guardian angels that I'd ever 
seen
        F#                      
And no gods but the ones that we 
  C#
make

[Refrain]
    F            Bbm               
But for a little while I knew that 
F#         C#
I couldn't lose
F              Bbm               
Nothing in the world could tear 
   F#
me away

[Verse 3]
C#
Life isn't much like a video game
Ebm
Sometimes it's hard and there's 
nowhere to save
        F#                   C#
And you can't start it over again

C#
So every day i play video games
 Ebm
I guess I don't know what you want 
me to say
       F#                   C#
I just don't want to cry anymore
