               Gm
They must have loved each other once
             D#
But that was many years ago
           Cm7
And by the time I came along
               Cm6 
Things were already going wrong
           Gm
I felt the pain in their pretence
               D#
The side they tried hard not to show
                Cm7
But through the simple eyes of youth
           Cm6                 D7
It wasn't hard to see the truth

Chorus:
Gm                    D#
And in the end nobody wins
            Cm7
When love begins to fall apart
     A#      D#
And it's the innocent who pay
              A#                 D#  
When broken dreams get in the way
A#                    Am7         D
The game begins, the game nobody wins

They must have loved each other once
Before the magic slipped away
And as their life became a lie
What love remained began to die
I used to hide beneath the sheets
I prayed that time would find a way
But with the passing of the years
I watched as laughter turned to tears

Chorus

We used to love each other once
With all the passion we possessed
But people change as time goes by
Some feelings grow while others die
But if we learn from what we see
And face the truth while we still can
Then though the passion may be gone
Some kind of love can still live on

Chorus

Nobody wins, nobody wins
La-la-la-la, la-la, la-la
And it's the innocent who pay
When broken dreams get in the way
The game begins, the game nobody wins
(Nobody wins) Nobody wins
(Nobody wins) Nobody wins
(Nobody wins) Nobody wins
(Nobody wins) Nobody wins
(Nobody wins) Nobody wins
