"It's No Game", from David Bowie's Scary Monsters and Super Creeps album

Verse chords (with example verse)
D Am
Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution
G Bb C
No more three steps to heaven

Chorus chords (and lyrics are the same everytime):
D Am C G A
And it's no game, (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)

And then consider this whole part the bridge,
which is identical in both versions, so I won't rewrite the lyrics
Em A
Documentaries on refugees, Couples 'gainst their targets
C G A
Throw a rock against the road and it breaks into pieces
Em A
Draw the blinds on yesterday and it's all so much scarier
C G A
Put a bullet in my brain and it makes all the papers
E Bm D A E

E Bm D A B
And it's no game, (ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo)

C A

There we go. now the lyrics:
Part 1
(verse chords)
Shimeto ya kage ga ka ku mei o miteiru
Mo tengoku no giu no kai dan wa nai
Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution
No more three steps to heaven
(chorus)

(verse)
Ore genjitsu kara shime dasare
Nani ga okkote iru ka wakara nai
I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
(chorus)

(verse)
Doko ni kyokun wa aruka
Hitobito wa yabi ooraneteiru
Konna dokusaisha ni igashime rareru nowa kanashi
(chorus)

(bridge)

(verse)
Nammino kiroku eiga
Hioteki o se ni shita kiobi to tach
Michi ni ishi o nage reba
Konago na ni kudake
Kimo ni nutao sureba
Kyo hu wa maso
Ore no atama ni tama o buchi kome ba
Shinbun wa kaki tateru
So where's the moral
People have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists-it's so degrading
D Am A
And it's no game (ooo-ooo)
(Shut up!...shut up!)

Part 2
(verse)
Silhouettes and shadows watch the revolution
No more three steps to heaven
Just walky-talky - heaven or hearth
Just big heads and drums - full speed and pagan
(chorus)
(verse)
I am barred from the event
I really don't understand the situation
So where's the moral, people have their fingers broken
To be insulted by these fascists-it's so degrading
(chorus)
(bridge)
(verse)
Children 'round the world
Put camel shit on the wall
Making carpets on treadmills
Or garbage sorting
D Am A
And it's no game (ooo-ooo)
