       Dm
So you say that you are tired
         C            Dm
And you wanna make a deal
The way the see you turn
             C               Dm
Well that's not the way you feel

Well I got news for you sunshine
You may not understand
You're living in a poker game
And you've already shown your hand

Chorus:
Dm                    F C Dm
So if you can't stand up
                           F   C Dm
You'd better learn how to fall
                  F     C Dm
One thing is for certain
                            C
Ain't no way out of here at all
            Dm    A# C F C/E
'Cos we're winning

Now we've ironed out the edges
That your mother may have loved
Or someone you may have wanted
But you're now too way above

'Cos you're shining like a razor
And we're all waiting just for you
We took you up on what you said
Now let's see what you can do

Chorus:
And if you can't stand up
You'd better learn how to fall
One thing is for certain
Ain't no way out of here at all
'Cos we're winning
