I'm the king of second chances

But I lost my crown tonight

Walking your heart out on the wire

But it's a long way down this time
[Pre-Chorus]

They say you win some
G
You lose some

But I only lose some

They say you don’t know

What you got till
Em7
It’s gone well
D
Guess I know now
[Chorus]

This loves a lottery

Just another coin in the slot machine

Not what I thought it’d be
Em7
I guess if love's a lottery
D
Sometimes you gotta lose

I tried my luck with someone different
Em7
And I confess it’s not so bad

If I was smart I wouldn't look back

Even an ocean in-between
D
Can’t keep you from my memory

They say you win some
