#1.
           F                C
I know you think I'm crazy, cryin' out lazy,
G                C
winning days are through.
F              C                    G
Am I mistaken, have you been taking more than 
        C
you can use?
           G                        C
And by the way, the loser, babe, is you.


#2.
           F                   C
I hear you think I'm used, overworked and abused.
   G               C     F                 C
If what you say is true, why'd ya do me, I thought
                  G               C
you knew me..I've never been your fool.
           G                        C
And by the way, the loser, babe, is you.



CHORUS:
       F            C
It's a losers game, playing to win.
Bb            F          C
It's all over before you begin.
     F                    C
It's another day when you clear it away.
            Bb          F            C
It's just a lonely rendevouz with an old friend.

It's just a lonely rendevouz with an old friend.

        F                       C
I never meant any harm, I don't want to alarm you.
    G              C
You broke the only rule.
F              C                     G
Am I mistaken, have you been taking, more than you 
    C
can use?
           G                        C
And by the way, the loser, babe, is you.
