[INTRO: ]D (alternate between D and D/A)
D
Nobody came one night in May
D
No one to love her on that day
A
Story goes the rest is just a shame
D
And there was no mother's open arms
D
No daddy to shield her from the harm
A
Just another face without a name
CHORUS:
D
Nobody wins, nobody gains
G A7
Nobody there to keep the baby from the rain
D
It's so unfair, we all lose
G A7
Nobody there to sing a lullaby, a love song or the blues
D
Nobody wins
(KEY CHANGE)
E
Years passed and young got old
E
Things happened nobody knows
B
Father time stole her life away
E
They found her in an alleyway
E
A cold night in the month of May
B
And nobody shed a tear
CHORUS:
E
Nobody wins, nobody gains
A B7
Nobody there to keep the baby from the rain
E
It's so unfair, we all lose

Nobody there to sing a lullaby, a love song or the blues
E
Nobody wins
E
Nobody wins

And Nobody's nobody again

(Nobody's nobody again)
