Play

[Em]He tried his very best to [C]play
The game along the rules and [Em]stay
A valued player - a rising[C] star
A work adict, he raised the [Em]bar
Until he felt, it’s all too [C]much
Suffering from the iron [Em]clutch
Cycles too short, the clock too [C]fast
He struggled anyway at [Am]last [Am-C-D]

[G]Heart [D]beat [C]failed
[C]He didn't know what's going on
[G]Heart [D]beat [C]failed
[C]He fell, he gasped, struggled along

[G]The chest pain nearly turned him [D]out
[C]His heart was racing timidly wild
[C]Sweat on his face, his breath went [D]loud
[C]When passing out he saw his child


[Em]His Love helped him to under[C]stand
To change some things and to [Em]intend
To live his life in better [C]ballance
Find a more reposeful [Em]stance
He tried his very best to [C]stay
Alive and glad, not go [Em]astray
Cycles down, the clockwork [C]slow
He took the throttles down to [Am]LOW [Am-C-D]


[Em]He tried his very best to [C]play
The game along the rules and [Em]stay
A valued player - a rising[C] star
A work adict, he raised the [Em]bar
Until he felt, it’s all too [C]much
Suffering from the iron [Em]clutch
Cycles too short, the clock too [C]fast
He struggled anyway at [Am]last [Am-C-D]

[G]Heart [D]beat [C]failed
Helped him to sort his issues out
[G]Heart [D]beat [C]failed
He came back stronger but not loud

The chest pain nearly turned him out
His heart was racing timidly wild
Sweat on his face, his breath went loud
When passing out he saw his child
