Lyrics[edit]

[VERSE 1:] (Yeah) (Yeah) How'd it come to this, after all we've been through? Two of a pair now on opposite sides From the very start, with honor we Dueled Watched each other's back and we battled with pride We are closer than brothers But now we have to fight each other And we trust our fate to the Heart of the Cards

[CHORUS:] No matter what Let the game begin No matter what May the best man win No matter what We're in this together No matter what We'll be friends forever! No matter what

[VERSE 2:] (Yeah) (Yeah) It's been you and me, hanging out playing games Didn't ever think it would get this hard Time's running out, and there's so much at stake Everything riding on the turn of a card We'll show them what we're made of As we fight for the ones we love And we'll be friends to the very end

[CHORUS:] No matter what Let the game begin No matter what May the best man win No matter what We're in this together No matter what We'll be friends forever! No matter what, yeah!

[BRIDGE:] I don't wanna give up, but I will never give in Don't wanna Duel with my very best friend I could throw the whole match, let him win every play But with so much at stake I just can't walk away Though I need a victory You always meant the world to me And that's one thing that will never change

[CHORUS:] No matter what Let the game begin No matter what May the best man win No matter what We're in this together No matter what We'll be friends forever, yeah! No matter what Let the game begin No matter what May the best man win No matter what We're in this together! No matter what We'll be friends forever! No matter what
