born to lose, i've lived my life in vain 
           A9                                    E 
 every dream has only brought me pain 
           E               E7                  A9       F#7 
 all my life i've always been so blue

 born to lose, and now i'm losing you 

born to lose, it seems so hard to bear 
 how i long to always have you near 
 you've grown tired and now you say we're through 
 born to lose, and now i'm losing you 

born to lose, my every hope is gone 
 it's so hard to face each empty dawn 
 you were all the happiness i knew

 born to lose, and now i'm losing you
