[Verse]
Cm        F
For you I was a flame
Fm         Cm
Love is a losing game
Cm         F
Five story fire as you came
Fm         Cm
Love is a losing game 

[Chorus]
Am            Dm
Why do I wish I never played
Fm      Cm
Oh what a mess we made

Cm          F
And now the final frame
Fm         Cm
Love is a losing game

Fm

[Verse]
Cm           F
Played out by the band
Fm         Cm
Love is a losing hand
Cm           F
More than I could stand 
Fm         Cm
Love is a losing hand 

[Chorus]
Am            Dm
Self professed... profound
Fm           Cm
Till the chips were down

Cm                F
...know you're a gambling man 
Fm         Cm
Love is a losing hand 

Fm

[Verse]
Cm          F
Though I'm rather blind 
Fm          Cm
Love is a fate resigned 
Cm          F
Memories mar my mind 
Fm          Cm
Love is a fate resigned 

[Chorus]
Am         Dm
Over futile odds 
Fm               Cm
And laughed at by the gods

Cm            F
And now the final frame 
Fm          Cm
Love is a losing game
