Am              G
Seen a lot of places
 F              G            Am
Looked at many faces, one by one
       G                    F G
And I wonder where they've been

And when I see my good friends
Standing around me, one by one
Then I know just what it means
Only happens in my dreams

Chorus:
  C             G                C
There's been a lot of games to play
               G             C
I've tried to live a better way
        G            Am
Had to do it my own way
           G             D  
It didn't happen every day

And when I see the angels
Walking around me, one by one
Then I'll know just what to do

I'll think of all the places
Remember all the faces, one by one
Then I'll take a look at you
And I'll know those dreams were true

Chorus:
There could be other games to play
I'll leave 'em for another day
Now I'm learning what to say
And I can look the other way

F          G       Em         Am
How I've changed, since I met you
F          G          Am
And now I wanna carry on
F     G        Em                Am
This love, I know can take us through
                      D              G G#dim
And all the hurt and pain will be undone

There's so many thought inside my head
About the things I could have said
And all the words I should have read
Now I can think of you instead

Chorus:
And all the other games to play
I'll leave 'em for another day
Cos now I'm learning what to say
And I can look the other way
Ooh
