God Games Chords by Jorge Rivera-Herrans

[Chorus]
Em             
Father God King
                    Em7   
Rarely do I ask for favors
        Em7                  
Now I'm knocking on your door
                                         Esus4                     Em  
With hopes to save a friendship with one who's a prisoner far from home
Em      
Odysseus


[Verse]
       Em                                
Divine intervention is that what you seek
         Em                                          
To untie apprehensions that were placed on that Greek
                     Em7     Gbm7              Em7  
You are playing with thunder for a man full of shame
                              Em    B7                      Em  
But if he's worth the risk of going under why not make it a game
                 Em                                                    
Convince each of them that he ought to be released and I'll release him
      Em  
Who's them


[Chorus]
                  C                   Cmaj7 Am7   Bm
Apollo Hephaestus Aphrodite Ares Hera ■     or me ■ 
Em             G  
■  What do you say
G    
Great
     Esus4
Very well 
  
Eh


[Verse]
Em     
Alright
Em    
Groovy
        
Bring it
Am    
Apollo
                 Am                   
You all know I'm a fan of catchy songs
           D                        B            B7   
So with so many sirens gone I think Ody's in the wrong
          B         Am          
They were trying to do him worse
       D7      D             
All he did was reimburse them
            D                       
Now they'll tread with caution first
        B                            Em   
To live another day and sing another verse
          Em              
If that's true release him
D            Em7
■ Hephaestus ■  
             G                
Trust is not given it's forged
           D                    
Why should I give him my support
   Am                       
He sacrificed his own cohort
        Em                          
Did you forget they failed to listen
       G                           
He was betrayed and then imprisoned
                          D       
But if you make the right decision
       C             Am                            
He can still build a future with those who miss him
             Em 
Fine release him


[Chorus]
Em       
Aphrodite
     Dbm7        Dbsus4             
Your little high and mighty Odysseus
Dbsus4                   
Claims to love his mother
            Dbsus4               
But let her die of a broken heart
G           Em      
He was busy fighting
               B                  
More like busy spiting the cyclops
G                                                 
Let him feel the pain that his mother felt and rot
C    Em     Bm7            
Wait please reconsider this
Em                            
Really Athena These old tricks
D Db7  Em
■ Ares ■ 
D Dbm7 Dbm 
■ Ares Ares


[Verse]
                  B7    
What kind of sick coward
               B7   
Holds back his power
          Bm                  
While his friends get devoured
                     B7    
He didn't even fight Scylla
            G              
Didn't even try to kill her
               Em                              
Hides inside a wooden horse to get the job done
      Em                    
Never handles things upfront
                           Em 
Pathetic and weak like his son


[Chorus]
          Em        
Hold your tongue now
             Em    
His son's my friend
              C            Am7              Em  
And tell your lover that a broken heart can mend
              Em       
You want more bloodshed
D            Em  
Then set him free
                   C                    D         Em   
To get back to his homestead he'll make everybody bleed
Em             
Ugh release him
    Em  
Hey baby


[Bridge]
Em  
Hera
        Em    
So many heroes
        Em   
So many tales
                 Em                             
Give me one good reason why yours should prevail
             Em              
He’s got the mind of a genius
    Em    
Try harder
            Em                
He’s pretty skilled with words
                       G   
You can do better than that
G                 
He’s kind of funny
   E7
Eh ■ 
                                 A7  
Never once has he cheated on his wife
A7         
Release him


[Verse]
                          A7 
I've played your game and won
A7         
Release him
Em                 
You dare to defy me
   Em                
To make me feel shame
       F        Em     Am      Em  
No one beats me no one wins my game


[Chorus]
              Am7 Em                 
Thunder bring her through the wringer
         Em7     Cmaj7         
Show her I'm the judgement call
Am7                   Em          
The one who makes her kingdom fall
Em         
Is she dead


[Break]

Let him go please
