(Em, F, Dm, G7, C) (C) Most of my life I've almost been a (G7) winner. I've come so close but never really (C) won. Just when I thought I finally (F) made it. I (G7) found myself back where I started (C) from. CHORUS: (Em) I hate to say I'm (Am) giving up but I (F) believe, (G7) losin's just become a way of (C) life for me. (Em) Losin' wouldn't be so bad at (F) all. But I'm (Dm) always on a (G7) mountain when I (F) fall. INTERLUDE: (Em, F, Dm, G7, C) (C) Then you came along and had me, had me (G7) believin', for once in my life my luck had finally (C) changed. And now you say you're gonna (F) leave me. (G7) Seems everything I do winds up the (C) same. (TO CHORUS)
