[Verse]
Em            A5   [ Asus4 Em ]
I've seen you twice
Em         A5   [ Asus4 Em ]
In a short time
Em     A5
Only a week
         Em     Em7 A
Since we star - ted
Em          A5  [ Asus4 Em ]
It seems to me
Em        A5  [ Asus4 Em ]
For every time
Em          A5
I'm getting more
     Em     Em7 A
Open hear - ted


[Bridge]
Em          A/C#
 I was an impossible case
Bm                 Cmaj7
 No one ever could reach me
Em                 A/C#
 But I think I can see in your face
Bm                     Cmaj7
 There's a lot you can teach me
     Am7        C/D
So I wanna know 


[Chorus]
                      | G  C |
What's the name of the game?
        D       D/C     | G  C | D  C |
Does it mean anything to you?      (What's ...)
                      | G  C |
What's the name of the game?
        D           D/C   G
Can you feel it the way I do?

B       Em
Tell me please 
         A/C#    D
Cause I have to know
      B       Em    
I'm a bashful child 
  A/C#             C/D
Beginning to grow


[Middle 8]
        G
And you make me talk 
        C/G
And you make me feel
        G
And you make me show 
         C  F/C C
What I'm trying to conceal
     G
If I trust in you
          C/G
Would you let me down?
          G
Would you laugh at me
     Em                   | F#m7  B7|
If I said I care for you?
          Cmaj7
Could you feel the same way too?
             C/D
I wanna know ...  
               [ Em ]

I have no friends
Em        A5  [ Asus4 Em ]
No one to see
Em       A5      Em Em7 A
And I am never invi-ted
Em       A5   [ Asus4 Em ]
Now I am here
Em         A5  [ Asus4 Em ]
Talking to you
Em        A5      Em Em7 A
No wonder I get exci-ted


[Bridge]
Em                  A/C#
 Your smile and the sound of your voice
Bm                   Cmaj7
 And the way you see through me
Em                  A/C#
 Got a feeling, you give me no choice
Bm                  Cmaj7
 But it means a lot to me
     Am7         C/D
So I wanna know
