[Intro]
Fdim
[Verse 1]
C        Dm7            Fdim      Cmaj7
 For you I was a flame; love is a losing game.
C                Dm7          Fdim      Cmaj7
 Five story fire as you came; love is a losing game.
[Chorus 1]
Am7           Dm7           Fm7       Cmaj7
 One I wish I never played; oh what a mess we made.
            Dm7         Fm         Cmaj7
And now the final frame; love is a losing game.
[Interlude]
Fdim
[Verse 2]
C           Dm7          Fdim      Cmaj7
 Played out by the band; love is a losing hand.
C          Dm7            Fdim      Cmaj7
 More than I could stand; love is a losing hand.
[Chorus 2]
Am7              Dm7       Fm7       Cmaj7
 Self professed, profound; 'till the chips were down.
              Dm7          Fm         Cmaj7
Know you’re a gambling man; love is a losing hand.
[Interlude]
Fdim
[Verse 3]
C           Dm7           Fdim      Cmaj7
 Though I'm rather blind; love is a fate resigned.
C         Dm7          Fdim      Cmaj7
 Memories mar my mind; love is a fate resigned.
[Chorus 3]
Am7   Dm7         Fm              Cmaj7
 Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods.
            Dm7         Fm         Cmaj7
And now the final frame; love is a losing game.
