WOW! This tab took me a very very long time

on this specific song. I think the result is
quite accurate though! I hope this tab helps
you play this beautiful song, however, if you
wish to use this tab on a site or claim credit
for it, please inform me before hand. Thanks!

VERSE 1:
 
 --------

You can [D]play the game and you can [A]act out the part
Though you [Bm]know it wasn't [D/A]written for [G]you
But tell me, [D]how can you stand there with your [A]broken [A#dim7]heart
As[Bm]hamed of play[D/A]ing the [G]fool
[D]One thing can lead to an-[A]other; it doesn't [Bm]take any s[D/A]ac-ri-[G]fice
Oh, [D]father and mother, sis-[A]ter and [A#dim7]brother,
[Bm]if it feels [D/A]nice, don[G]'t think twi[(D/F#)]ce

VERSE 2: - Same chord progression as first verse.
 
 --------

You can run but you cannot hide;
this is widely known
And what you plan to do with your foolish pride
when you're all by yourself alone
Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
you can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
always getting the grease.
