[Strophe]
C        Dm7            Fdim      Cmaj7 
 For you I was a flame; love is a losing game. 
C                Dm7          Fdim      Cmaj7 
 Five story fire as you came; love is a losing game.
[Refrain]
Am7           Dm7           Fm7       Cmaj7 
 One I wish I never played; oh what a mess we made. 
            Dm7         Fm         Cmaj7 
And now the final frame; love is a losing game.

[Strophe]
C           Dm7          Fdim      Cmaj7 
 Played out by the band; love is a losing hand. 
C          Dm7            Fdim      Cmaj7 
 More than I could stand; love is a losing hand.
[Refrain]
Am7              Dm7       Fm7       Cmaj7 
 Self professed, profound; 'till the chips were down. 
              Dm7          Fm         Cmaj7 
Know you’re a gambling man; love is a losing hand.

[Strophe]
C           Dm7           Fdim      Cmaj7 
 Though I'm rather blind; love is a fate resigned. 
C         Dm7          Fdim      Cmaj7 
 Memories mar my mind; love is a fate resigned.
[Refrain]
Am7   Dm7         Fm              Cmaj7 
 Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods. 
            Dm7         Fm         Cmaj7 
And now the final frame; love is a losing game.
