Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain

Ev'ry dream has only brought me pain  
	G	  G7		   C  
All my life I've always been so blue  
	D7  			    G  
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 that empty dawn  
You were all the happiness I knew  
Born to lose and now I'm losing you  
  
There is no use to dream of happiness  
All I see is only loneliness  
All my life, I've always been so blue  
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
