Play This Game

[Verse 1] I could be jealous and grasping with greed I could pretend that I want something I don't need These are the things that go through my head But then, I could be an angel disguised as a man I could be the sun that shines in the midnight land [Pre-Chorus 1] If you would only stand in my corner Give that advantage to me Don't you feel something? You know what I'm thinking but I can't set it free, we must [Chorus 1] Play this game, take the prize But not before you realize That win or lose, it's all the same Then maybe we can play this game [Verse 2] I can't remember the reason I'm here Sometimes it seems like it's all out of habit or fear Sometimes I wish, I could just go to sleep But then, I'll have a dream with a beautiful end I'll wake up and feel alive, then I'm off again [Pre-Chorus 2] If I could only keep your connection Give me whatever remains Then I might win you total liberation But I can't break these chains, we must [Chorus 2] Play this game, let's pretend That we could never reach the end For it would be a crying shame If we can't learn to play this game [Chorus 1] Play this game, take the prize But not before you realize That win or lose, it's all the same Then maybe you can play this game [Bridge] (Stand in my corner) Give that advantage to me (Stand in my corner) Pull down a message with me The answer that evades our brains We only think we're wearing chains [Guitar solo] [Bridge] Stand in my corner Won't you stand in my corner Stand in my corner [Chorus 1] Play this game, take the prize But not before you realize That win or lose, it's all the same Then maybe you can play this game [Chorus 2] Play this game, let's pretend That we could never reach the end For it would be a crying shame If we can't learn to play this game [Outro] Play this game, take the prize But not before you realize That win or lose, it's all the same...
