   Well I know I can't win 
           D           E 
   Still I bet on everything 
             A        E 
   There's a devil in me 
             D            E 
   Screaming out for lottery 

          A          E 
   I need three in a row 
          D              E 
   If you want to see me glow 
          A           E 
   Always on a losing streak 
            D                E 
   I'm a compulsive gambling freak

   But still I'm drawn to all these stupid games

   And I'll be rolling the dice all my life indeed 
   D    A          E            F#m      D E 
   Even though the odds are laughing at me

   Well I hate to admit

   But I think I'm losing it 
           A              E 
   I can't seem to let it go 
               D              E 
   And now I'm running out of dough

       D                  E               A  E 
   But still I'm drawn to all these silly games

   And I'll be rolling the dice all my life indeed

   Even though the odds are laughing at me
