___________________ / Rufus Wainwright / "Out of the Game it came to me through exhaustion. / Out of the Game / Just seeing these young people today doing all that they / Out of the Game / have to do for you know five seconds on you know /__________________/ youtube. When I started out in the business I jumped through a lot of hoops you know and I would do things that had to be done. But I was pretty dead set on having to be about the music and not so much about the image though I did create an image. The older I get the more exhausting that whole concept becomes. I mean my favorite line from that song is "Wearing something from God knows where". But then again of course the third verse is you know "Come over here let me smell you for one last time before you go out there and ruin all the world once mine". It’s tinged with envy as well you know ’cause I’d like to be that age again and that silly and that kind of excited about idiotic things. I think it’s a heartfelt complaint. I’m just tired. I’m out of the game." CHORDS: (These "voicings" are indeed somewhat coarse but nevertheless played by Rufus!) :---0-----0-----0-----0-----2-----2-----2-----2-----0-----1-----1---: :---0-----0-----2-----2-----2-----1-----0-----2-----1-----1-----1---: :---1-----1-----1-----2-----2-----2-----2-----2-----0-----1-----2---: :---2-----0-----2-----2-----2-----0-----1-----2-----2-----1-----3---: :---2-----2-----0-----0-----2-----------2-----2-----0-----1-----3---: :---0-----0------------2------------1---: Intro: 4/4 +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+ +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+ Verse: 2x intro "I’m out of the game I’ve been out for a long time now I’m looking for something Can’t be found on the main drag no I’m out of the game I’ve been out for a long time now I’m looking for something Can’t be found on the main drag no" Chorus: +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+ +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+ +=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+ "Look at you look at you look at you look at you suckers!
