Intro:  D     G  


verse 1 
G                  
The first time that I met her 
                    C 
She took my breath away 
   D 
My body started trembling 
                          G 
And I didn?t know what to say 

G 
But I pulled myself together 
                        C 
And I asked her for her name 
         D 
She said my name is Sally Jo 
                     G 
But I don't play the game 

 
            C 
The game of love ?em and leave em 
              G 
The nights of cryin? and weapin? 
           C 
I?ll never love no one again 
           D 
Well I got caught up in the game that I can't win 

Solo(One verse) 

verse 2 
G 
Many time I heard the story 
                      C 
Of a love that?s gone bad 
    D 
And I can understand it 
                    G 
I've lost the one I had 

G 
I'm a man that?s never played before 
                       C 
It's a crazy game I've lost 
     D 
Well he don't know the pain right now 
                       G 
But soon he?ll pay the cost 

 
            C 
The game of love ?em and leave em 
              G 
The nights of cryin? and weapin? 
           C 
I?ll never love no one again 
           D 
Well I got caught up in the game that I can't win 

Solo(One verse) 

 
            C 
The game of love ?em and leave em 
              G 
The nights of cryin? and weapin? 
           C 
I?ll never love no one again 
           D                                  C 
Well I got caught up in the game that I can't win
