intro: D#5 , A#5

D#5                          G#5
I was brought in this world 1962,
D#5                            A#5
I didn't have much choice you see. 
           D#5                        G#5
But by the time I was eight, I could tell it was too late,
D#5            A#5                    D#5
I was already barking up the wrong tree.
D#5                       G#5                   
When I was in school you thought I was a fool,
D#5          A#5  
In trouble, Breaking all the rules.
D#5                                G#5
I was absent from class, My daddy spanked my bare ass,
D#5               A#5         D#5
But I sure tried hard to be cool.

G#5            D#5
Born to lose, was what they said,
A#5                        D#5 fill
You know I was better off dead.
G#5            D#5
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
A#5            G#5            D#5
You don't get no second chance.

D#5                               G#5
It was a hot summer night in mid July,
D#5                     A#5
A hangover and a black eye.
D#5                             G#5
Your momma said I was a loser, A dead end cruiser, 
D#5                 A#5               D#5
And deep inside I knew that she was right.


G#5            D#5
Born to lose, was what they said,
A#5                        D#5 fill
You know I was better off dead.
G#5            D#5
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
A#5            G#5            D#5      
You don't get no second chance.

Solo

D#5                                             G#5
I tried to get myself a job Because that's the way that Things are, 
D#5                            A#5    
wanna have nice Things and go far. 
D#5                                     G#5
Well I'm sorry Honey, I ain't got much money
D#5                       A#5       D#5            
But I can sure play this here old Guitar. 
D#5                     G#5 
As the years went on, I made a few mistakes 
D#5                                   A#5
it was a Troublebound for this young Man. 
D#5                               G#5
The police knockin' at my Door, "Well he don't live here noMore, 
D#5                    G#5           D#5
and he's playin' in a rock 'n'Roll band."


G#5            D#5
Born to lose, was what they said,
A#5                        D#5 fill
You know I was better off dead.
G#5            D#5
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
A#5            G#5            D#5
You don't get no second chance.
