Have I got the right to call myself a man?

Or will I go livin' up to my name again?

When I get the chance to love I let it pass.
Eb                   C    Bb           F

Let 'em use my heart just like a stepping stone.
    Bb              Bbm            Bb
And when it's torn apart I feel so all alone.
Eb            F     Bb            F
Feelin' sorry for myself is all I do.
Eb                F        Bb              F
Things don't ever turn out like I want 'em to.

Cause I'm a (loser) with a broken heart..
                                           Eb
(loser)..tearin' me apart..(loser) and the loser

is my name.

     C
from love.
Cm           Bm      Em   C       Am      Gm    F
If just once I could win, I could fall in love again.

In the end I know that I will always lose.

I have only one direction I can choose.

Stay and let me treat her like the fool I am.

Have I got the right to call myself a man?
