C Dm
Most of my life I've almost been a winner
F C
I've come so close but never really won
C C7 F
Just when I thought I?d finally made it
G C
I find myself back where I started from
[Refrão] Em Dm F
I hate to say I'm giving up but I believe
G C
Losin's just become a way of life for me
Em F
Losin' wouldn't be so bad at all
Dm G C
But I'm always on a mountain when I fall
Then you came along and had me, had me believin'
For once in my life my luck had finally changed
And now you say you're gonna leave me
Seems everything I do winds up the same
Chorus
Em F
Losin' wouldn't be so bad at all
Dm G C
But I'm always on a mountain when I fall
