-----------------------------------------------------
G                       Am
He wants to dream like a young man
C                    D
With the wisdom of an old man.
G                       Am
He wants his home and security,
C                       D
He wants to live like a sailor at sea.
(Chorus:)--------------------------------------------
Em            C D        Em                   Am                
Beautiful loser,         where you gonna fall? 
          G                                Am  D
When you realize you just can't have it all.
-----------------------------------------------------
G                         Am
He's your oldest and your best friend,
C                      D
If you need him , he'll be there again.
G                        Am 
He's always willing to be second best,
C                  D
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest.
(Chorus 2:)--------------------------------------------
Em             C  D  Em               Am
Beautiful loser,       read it on the wall
      G       Am                     D              
And realize, you just can't have it all.
    Bb C   G                   Bb      C      G
...you just can't have it all,  you just can't have it all,
Bb           C               G       
Oh, oh, ... can't have it all.
Bb        C                               G          Bb
    You can try you can try but you can't have it all
C                G         
He'll never make any enemies,
Bb                          C               G
He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze.
Bb                    C            G          Am  C  D  G 
He'll always ask, he'll always say please.

G   Am   C   D   G   Am   C   G    
(Chorus 3:)--------------------------------------------
Em       C     D   Em      Am           
Beautiful loser, never take it all
G                                Am 
cause it's easier, and faster when you fall,
          D                       G        Am   C   D
  Ah, you just don't need it all
      G    Am   C      D
Oh, oh, ... you just don't need it all.
