D                       A
The story of you and I has beautiful memories
                  A7                             D
'Til lonesome and weary sighs start keepin' them company
                                               G
As soon as they all gather 'round, along comes misery
             D                 A       A7
Then here we go again, here we go again


Verse:
             D                              A
So if an old friend of mine comes knockin' upon my door
            A7                         D
All I could tell him now, he's already heard before
                                            G
It's better to love and lose, to never have played at all
              D              A             D             B7
For sometimes losers are the only ones who win


Chorus:
    E                                           B7
I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you
                                               E
For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew
                                                     B7
And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity
                                                   E
Along with all the memories that belong to you and me

Verse:
            D                        A
A fortunate man I am that you were a part of me
                  A7                           D
The game has been played and I'm just shy of a victory
                                          G
The heartaches that carry on will soon be history
               D                A             D             B7
Let's hope the world is full of losers in the end


Chorus:
    E                                           B7
I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you
