Played The Game Too Long (CHORDS) by Billy Joe Shaver

[Intro]~
G  A  D  A


[Verse 1]~
D                             E
We got too hung up on hangin' on

     G           A                    D       A
Yeah,, wound it up until our spring was sprung

  D                         E
We did our thing till it was overdone

G                    A                   D
We fooled around and played the game too long


[Chorus]~
          Bm
We used to rock along and laugh at the rain

   E                 G             A
Now gettin' stoned is all we do and things just ain't the same


[Verse 2]~
D                                    E
We've worn out that song we used to sing

   G          A               D     A
The melody has lost it's happy ring

D                                 E
What we've got is just as good as gone

  G                 A                   D
We fooled around and played the game too long


[Instrumental]~
G  D  Bm  E  G  A  D  A  D  E  G  A  D


[Verse 2]~
D                                  E
We had it right before it all went wrong

    G                A             D       A
Then turned it off by comin' on too strong

D                                      E
It's too late now,, the damage has been done

  G                 A                   D
We fooled around,, we played the game too long


[Chorus]~
          Bm
We used to rock along and laugh at the rain

   E                 G             A
Now gettin' stoned is all we do and things just ain't the same


[Verse 3]~
D                                    E
We've worn out that song we used to sing

   G          A               D     A
The melody has lost it's happy ring

D                                 E
What we've got is just as good as gone

  G                 A                   D
We fooled around and played the game too long
