Victim of the Game Garth Brooks transcribed by Alden Smith Intro Verse Well, it took a little time But I guess you finally learned That promises get broken And bridges do get burned You've been sifting through the ashes Just trying to find a flame Holdin on to nothing You're a victim of the game You were standin way too close To see it all fall apart And there were things you couldn't hear 'Cause you listenin with your heart But you can't say I didn't warn you Now there's no one else to blame There's no one quite as blind As a victim of the game Chorus And it don't matter who you are It treats everyone the same All you need's a heart To be a victim of the game Verse You know it's really gettin to you When you take to tellin lies And you can try to fool your friends But you can't look 'em in the eye There ain't no standing tall In the shadow of the shame When everybody knows That your a victim of the game Chorus And it don't matter who you are It treats everyone the same All you need's a heart To be a victim of the game Bridge Oh you know when I look into your eyes I can really feel the pain Starin in the mirror At a victim of the game
