Bb C In the playground of the broken hearts
Gm F One more experience, one more entry
Em Dm In a diary, self penned
Bb C Yet another emotional sui-cide
Am Dm Overdosed on sentiments and pride
Cm G Too late to say I love you
Cm G Too late to restage the play
Cm G Abandoning the relics
D G In my playground of yesterday
D A F#m Bm
D A F#m Bm
D A I'm losing on the swings
F#m Bm I'm losing on the roundabouts
D A I'm losing on the swings
F#m Bm I'm losing on the roundabouts
D A Too much, too soon, too far to go ( play D then on the drums A-F#m then Bm)

Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m I act the role in classic style
Em Bm A F#m Of a martyr carved with twisted smile
Em Bm A F#m To bleed the lyric for this song
Em Bm A F#m To write the rights to right my wrongs
A G F G An epitaph to a broken dream
A G F G To exercise this silent scream
Em Bm A F#m Em Bm A F#m A scream that's born from sorrow
Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m
Em Bm A F#m I never did write that love song
Em Bm A F#m The words just never seemed to flow
Em Bm A F#m Now sad in reflection did I gaze through perfection
Em Bm A F#m And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
A G F G And examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
A G F G A F# E B Promised wedding now awake, promised wedding now awake, awake, awake, awake,
Abm A F#m B
Abm A The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry
F#m B Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why
Abm A As you grow up and leave the playground where you kissed your prince and found your frog
F#m B Remember the jester that showed you tears
Abm A F#m B The script for tears
Abm A So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
F#m B In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
Abm A Has gone solo in the game
F#m B I've gone solo in the game (at the F#m here you can play the bass notes D C# F# to get a correct sound)
Abm A F#m B But the game is over
Abm Can you still say you love me?
A Can you still say you love me?
F#m B Can you still say that you love me?
Abm Do you love me, do you love me?
A Do you love me, do you love me?
F#m B Do you love me just as you did (same here)
Abm Can you still say you love me?
A Can you still say you love me?
F#m B Can you still say that you love me?
Abm A F#m B Abm Just as did, just as did
A F#m B Abm A ... Do you love me? Do you love me, do you love me?
