Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (Acoustic Cover) 

Just gonna leave this here in case you want to follow me elsewhere! I appreciate you all. linktr.ee/chaseeagleson

If you just put on headphones, go outside, breath in the air, close your eyes and listen to this cover..... it's an other worldly experience.

This is how he's playing it: Capo on 1st Fret. Chords shown relative to capo. First chord: X24430 Second chord: 577650 (he uses his thumb on the 6th string which makes it easier to keep the 1st string open) Third chord: 022100, to 022200 for a beat then back to 022100 Pluck the bass note of each chord then pick/strum into them, listen for the pattern. What makes this version stand out is the 1st string is heard being played open the entire song, giving it a sort of haunting, chime-y sound. This means it is EXTREMELY important that your guitar is in tune, or you're going to come up to that second chord and the 1st and 2nd strings are going to make you hate life. Rinse and repeat. Have fun!

6yrs later, still gives me the chills everytime I hear you sing this song. I can’t even listen to Chris Isaac anymore, you just brought this song to a whole other level!

LYRICS The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you With you (This world is only gonna break your heart) What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you The world was on fire and no one could save me but you Strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you (with you) (This world is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart) (This world is only gonna break your heart) Nobody loves no one

Your voice is hauntingly dark and beautiful. I never felt this way about a cover before

Sincerely.. I've been listening to your cover for more than a week and I just don't feel like stopping any soon.. Absolutely perfect.. Thank you, Sir.

The dark background fits perfectly with the song .

Bruh, im with a whole group right here. We smoked a joint and we are vibin to this song

This was so soothing to listen to. It's night and I don't want to sleep yet, but at the same time, I am exhausted. Put my fairy lights on, let this play and just laid on my bed relaxing to the sound of your voice.

Music is emotion, you are music, you are emotion....

Quando um anjo canta paramos tudo que temos para fazer e nos sentamos para ouvir. O coração agradece e a alma encontra paz novamente. Vamos ouvir mais de uma vez?

Don’t know how many times I’ve listened to this song but it feels like the first time every time… This is one of those rare ones 🙏

3 years later we are here .. Best cover on RU-vid

this song and your voice has put me to sleep the past two nights. i never go to sleep right away. my mind is always going million miles an hour at night. my anxiety and depression sets in at night. but when i listen to you, my mind is at ease. thank you.

Chase, I've heard 25 versions of this song and most of them are solid but yours is off the chart. It's soft and powerful between the guitar and your voice range. Outstanding job!

there’s actually no words to describe how amazing his voice is... wow...

There's a Jeff Buckley touch to your voice and guitar sound, but you really do manage to make your covers original. Its quite remarkable!

Holy shit!!!!! he has like THE best voice I have ever heard??? Wow just WOOOOW. I mean if you don't make it huge I just don't even know where this world has gotten to.

I was listening to your covers on my headphones the other day when I felt depressed and they took me to completely other world. They are truly magical and it's hearable how much effort you had to put to make one of these.

I have honestly been listening to you for years , GOOSEBUMPS EVERY SINGLE TIME !!!! I am obsessed ...I am flabbergasted and don't have words ,Your cover has spoken to me so many times over the years , yet every time a tear still gets shed ! Just ....WOW

Lyrics The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you And I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No I (this girl is only gonna break your heart) (This girl is only gonna break your heart) Nobody loves no one

I'm so glad I found you.

Vocal nuance and dynamic control? I’ve been in the music business for 50 years and the only thing that keeps me from crying is trying to conceive of the vocal expertise that I’m listening to.

3 years later we are here .. Best cover on RU-vid Swooning over your voice. You are extraordinarily gifted. I listen to a lot of music but never felt this way and this is a masterpiece ❤️

you're voice melts me almost into a different dimension, its so beautiful and soulful, it takes me to a different place. thank you :)

HEAD PHONES TURN OFF THE LIGHTS AND JUST LET YOUR SOUL DO ITS THING...

It's 4:20 A.M. here in California. I think I've been watching more than 30+ versions of "Wicked Game". By far, my ears

Man, I.just loved to listen to you. Your voice is powerful and you excited me about realising a dream of loving somebody like you..... congrats and success ever.

One of the best I have ever heard.... Love and respect !

This cannot be real, you're just too great...

Omg. You reach to the depth of the feeling this song wants to convey. Loved your voice performance and everything. You made me love this song all over again! ♥️

Never thought I’d find somebody like you.. someone who could actually sing in their own way, as unique and inventive as the main artist. You take me back to going into the city at night with my parents as a child, I’d look up to the stars as I hold their hand, and lights flicker in buildings above.

Probably the best cover I have come across! Jeez, you should get a record deal with your voice and skills. Your voice is so calming. Subscribed! Looking forward to hearing more.

Best wicked game cover on internet congrats

You are the only one to do this song justice..........great effort...so many has tried and failed miserably so much emotion involved .

Ele canta perfeitamente essa música do Chris Isack. .. melhor cover possível 🇧🇷❤️

"WOW" I love your voice !!!! That's a phenomenal song . You have very deep vocals and very magical!!

wow man....

I felt those low notes in my soul. Lord almighty, what a voice you have, Chase.

Que voz incrível. Apaixonadíssima ♥️

I could listen to this man singing for hours.

I just found your channel but you are amazing! Your voice is so touching. I love the way it deepens at times.I get goosebumps every single time. It's so magical, i'm in love.

He is so perfectly perfectly on key, and he has a lot of feeling in his voice, not to mention that he can sing so baritone low and then his voice goes into a high falsetto...his voice is almost like a trumpet or french horn, in it's purity and tone.

this cover is too good. like ever since what 4 years ago u keep me coming back every few months to cry lmao

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you And I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't want to fall in love (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart) No, I (this girl is only gonna break your heart) (This girl is only gonna break your heart) Nobody loves no one

Amo essa versão.😍

This officially my favorite cover of Wicked game like OFFICIALLY. That was brilliantly amazing.

Não há como não ser mais apaixonada por essa música. Todas as versões, sejam " covers " ou oficiais, são simplesmente perfeitas.

the guitar notes of this cover are just out of this world

Bastam três acordes simples, uma boa voz e uma bela letra.... viagem garantida. Perfeito!

Passion, talent and good taste of music! This is magic. Gave me gosebumbs!

impossible not to press 'repeat' after hearing it for the first time

Crystal clear, smooth, and dead on. This artist did a great job.

I listen to a lot of music but never felt this way and this is a masterpiece ❤️

Wow... this is now my favourite cover of this song. I've never heard a voice like yours. Moved me to tears ❤

In my opinion, the best cover of this song along with London Grammar's one ! what a talent, it makes a few month and am still coming back to this . it's hunting and beautiful ! Des encouragements de France

I get a strangely confortable vibe just by listening to you

Such a deep, gentle and soothing version. Incredible. Thank you for this. 💙

Swooning over your voice. You are extraordinarily gifted.

Ok holy cow. I cant stop listening. Pure silk. I almost like this more than the original!

2020 ♡ Still hauntingly beautiful

Best Acoustic Wicked Games cover I've seen. The lighting is awesome, like a half in life and half in death set-up. Good job.

One of the best 80:s songs! sounds great!

The first time I heard this song, it was your cover, years ago. I've been looking for this song the exact way I remembered it ever since, couldn't remember who was it performed by. Today I've finally found it 💙 love it better than the original. Keep doing what you do :)

He literally does the best covers!! I absolutely love not only his voice but his amazing guitar skills. I too play acoustic guitar songs and he is an inspiration to me 😊

Just amazing. This song is an all-time favorite. I have heard many cover versions. This was ethereal. Great job.
