. . . chords . . .

[ verse 1 ]
A
i’d say it was the right time

to walk away
A
when dreaming takes you nowhere

it’s time to play
G
bodies working overtime

your money don’t matter
G
the time keeps ticking
D
someone’s on your mind
( on your mind )

[ verse 2 ]
A
i’m moving in slow motion

feels so good
A
it’s a strange anticipation

knock , knock , knocking on wood
G
bodies working overtime

it’s man against man
G
and all that ever matters
D
is baby who’s ahead in the game
A# C
funny but it’s always the same

[ chorus ]
F A#
playing , playing with the boys
F A#
staying , playing with the boys
G A
after chasing sunsets

one of life’s simple joys

is playing with the boys

[ verse 3 ]
she said it was the wrong thing
for me to do
i said it’s just a boys’ game

people get hurt
i’m thinkin that the people is me
if you want to find me , i’ll be . . .

after chasing sunsets
one of life’s simple joys
