Lyrics

I don’t know

where I am;

I don’t know

this place.

Don’t rec og nize

an y bod y,

just the same old danc

ing face.

See, these peo ple, they lie; and I

don’t know

who to be

lieve

an y more.

But there comes you to keep me safe from (Dm)harm;

there comes (F)you

to take me in your (Dm)arms.

Is it just a game?

I don’t (F)know.

Is it just a game?

I don’t (F)know.

Be too nice and (C)break my heart.

So home sick and con (C)fused,

but I know I must (C)play my part,

and tears I must con (C)ceal.

There comes

Take my hand, and my heart (Bb)rac

(F)es.

The flames il lu mi nate our (Bb)fac

(F)es.

And we’re on fire; blow a (Bb)kiss

to the crowd,

they’re our (Bbsus2)on ly hope

now.

And I

know

my (F)place;

and I

know

my (F)place;

we’re all just piec

es

in their

games.
