Verse
F#m
Play us like pawns and relentlessly confine,
A
Into living up to gender roles and having absent minds
D
Don't you think it's funny how they tell us how to live?
B
Don't you think it's funny how we're all delinquent kids?
F#m A
Like, hush now, don't say, don't say
[Chorus]
F#m
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word
A
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
D
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes
B
Play our little game, play our little game
[Verse]
F#m
Bounded all thoughts and corrected common sense
A
You're raising suicidals with your predetermined titles
D B
Like "a mess, distressed, I am unimpressed, you're excess
F# dress is all you'll ever be."
F#m A
Gender roles impose control and deceive progressive time
B C#m
Welcome to the land of the broken mind
[Chorus]
F#m
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word
A
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
C#m
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes
D
Play our little game, play our little game (2x)
[Bridge]
F#m A
We feign opulence just to get by
D B
Put on a false confidence just to feel alive
[Verse]
C#m
They can't hurt me anymore
F#m
There's nothing left to break of me
A
Nothing left to take from me
C#m
'Cause, baby, it's easy to fake a smile
A
When you've been doing it for a while
C#m
Baby, it's easy to fake a smile
B F#m
When you've been doing it for a while
[Chorus]
F#m
Hush boy, oh hush boy, don't say a word
A
Throw on a jersey and no one gets hurt
C#m
Hush girl, oh hush girl, just bat your eyes
D
Play our little game, play our little game (2x)
[Outro]
F#m
Play our little game
Play our little game
Play our little game
A D
Won't you play with me?
