Little Game Tabulatur von Benny (für Baryton)

Capo 2

[Verse]
Am
Play us like pawns and relentlessly confine,
      C
Into living up to gender roles and having absent minds
F
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

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

[Verse]
Am
Bounded all thoughts and corrected common sense
                  C
You're raising suicidals with your predetermined titles
         F                                           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

[Chorus]
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
F
Play our little game, play our little game (2x)

[Bridge]
Am                             C
We feign opulence just to get by
F                                        D
Put on a false confidence just to feel alive

[Verse]
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
[Chorus]
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
F
Play our little game, play our little game (2x)

[Outro]
Am
Play our little game
Play our little game
Play our little game
            C        F
Won't you play with me?
