"Love is a losing game"
�
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you (come)
Love is a losing game
�
�
Why do I wish I never (play)
Oh, what a mess we (make)
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
�
�
(play) out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I (can) stand
Love is a losing hand
�
Self professed... profund
Till the chips down
... Know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand
�
Though I'd rather blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned
�
Over futile odds
And (laugh) at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game
