Little Game

	  		 
 

Am 
Play us like pawns and relentlessly confine, 
      C 
Into living up to gender roles and having absent minds 
G 
Don't you think it's funny how they tell us how to live? 
D 
Don't you think it's funny how we're all delinquent kids? 
       Am                         C 
Like, hush now, don't say, don't say 

Am 
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word 
C 
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt 
G 
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes 
D 
Play our little game, play our little game 

Am 
Bounded all thoughts and corrected common sense 
                  C 
You're raising suicidals with your predetermined titles 
         G                                           D 
Like "a mess, distressed, I am unimpressed, you're excess 

A dress is all you'll ever be." 
Am                                                   C 
Gender roles impose control and deceive progressive time 
D                                   Em 
Welcome to the land of the broken mind 

Am 
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word 
C 
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt 
Em 
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes 
G 
Play our little game, play our little game 2x 

Am                             C 
We feign opulence just to get by 
G                                        D 
Put on a false confidence just to feel alive 

Em 
They can't hurt me anymore 
Am 
There's nothing left to break of me 
C 
Nothing left to take from me 
Em 
'Cause, baby, it's easy to fake a smile 
C 
When you've been doing it for a while 
Em 
Baby, it's easy to fake a smile 
D                                Am 
When you've been doing it for a while 

Am 
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word 
C 
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt 
Em 
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes 
G 
Play our little game, play our little game 2x 

Am 
Play our little game 
Play our little game 
Play our little game 
            G 
Won't you play with me?
