Verse We're not playing cards. We're not playing chess. Your stupid damn games. Have caused this mess. Pre Chorus There's no winner just losers When lovers keep score. If you keep picking battles. There's bound to be war. Chorus I'm tired of deceit. This is insane. I'm done with playing. Love is no game. Verse We're not tossing dice. Not spinning a wheel. This isn't play time. This is the real deal. Pre Chorus There's no winner just losers. When lovers keep score. If you keep picking battles. There's bound to be war. Chorus I'm tired of deceit. This is insane. I'm done with playing. Love is no game. Bridge We're in this together. We're on the same side. We need one another If we're to survive. Repeat v1 Pc Ch

Hi Carroll, I have composed a melody for this song. Here is the result. Do whatever you want with it. If you don't like, just ignore it.

Has a nice meter and does a good job of getting the idea across.
I'd prefer if both the prechorus and chorus weren't both just a repeat. Think it might work to try changing the just second two lines of the prechorus the second time around.
