And you... can't win unless you lose

Your neighbor's dirty laundry's cleaner
C Em D G Em
And the wolf at your door's always meaner

The sky's still grey when the sun's around
C
But you can't set sail if your anchor's down
G Em
And you... can't win unless you lose

Can't liven up for the both of us
Em
We have enough for the whole of us

If misery loves company

Then I can't keep you company no more
