E                                                   
Millie came up playing in the boys’ clubs, but they 
C#
made her play at midnight or at eight
    B                                                 
Her friends all said the times were finally changin’, 
       A                             E
and it only felt a few centuries too late
E                                                C#
Her eyes were always deep inside a notebook, her hands 
were always tuning her guitar
          B                                      A   
And while some stay busy waiting for permission, she 
                       E
was on her way to be a star

[Chorus 1]
E
And if you’d asked her if anyone had held her back
      C#                                  E
She’d tell you she’d forgot most of their names
           B
‘Cause the losers only think about the winners
    A                            E
The winners only think about the game

[Verse 2]
E                                                   
And then Millie fell in love with a civilian, or at 
C#
least we know he fell in love with her
B                                              A     
He could see how bright her light was shining, he 
                          E
could feel how wild her fire burned
E                                          C#
But love has its own kind of symmetry, you have to give
 as much as you receive
    B                                                 
And once he realized he could never give her nothing, 
A                                 E
he decided it was time for him to leave

[Chorus 2]
E
But now he likes to criticize her privately
          C#                               E
While she simply says that neither were to blame
           B
‘Cause the losers only think about the winners
A                                E
The winners only think about the game

[Verse 3]
E                                        C#
So Millie kept on adding to the setlist, working on her
 studio ten
            B                                    
And for the first time found it hard telling the 
            A                                   E
difference, between all her friends and all her fans
E                                                     
Which left her with a special brand of emptiness, she 
C#
channelled right back into the songs
    B                                         A       
She wasn’t gonna ask herself the question, if this is 
                           E
what she wanted all along

[Chorus 3]
E
Some people said she was a genius
C#                       E
Some people said she was insane
    B
But those losers only talk about the winners
A                                      E
And those winners only think about the game

[Verse 4]
E                                              C#
So Millie knew just when the dust was settled, when 
it’s time to put the pencil down
     B                                         A      
When the harmony is only just a shadow, of the way it 
                             E
felt the first hundred times around
E                                                C#
Which left it to the critics and the experts, to tell 
the world how Millie really felt
   B                                          A        
To somehow say she lost some competition, she was only 
                 E
ever having with herself

[Chorus 4]
E
Some might look for meaning in the ashes
C#                              E
She just misses standing in the flames
             B
‘Cause those losers only think about the winners
        A                            E
And the winners only think about the game
           B
Oh-oh, the losers only think about the winners
    A                            E
The winners only think about the game
