VERSE 1:
--------
        D                         A
You can play the game and you can act out the part
           Bm             D/A         G
Though you know it wasn't written for you
             D                                 A      A#dim7
But tell me, how can you stand there with your broken heart
  Bm           D/A     G
Ashamed of playing the fool
D                        A                 Bm        D/A   G
One thing can lead to an-other; it doesn't take any sac-ri-fice
    D                      A       A#dim7
Oh, father and mother, sis-ter and brother,
Bm          D/A      G           (D/F#)
if it feels nice, don't think twice

VERSE 2: - Same chord progression as first verse.
--------

You can run but you cannot hide; 
this is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride 
when you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
you can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
always getting the grease.
