         D
It's the end of the night
                    Bm
There's no time for talking
      F#m           Gmaj7
And I know it ain't right
                     F#m  Gmaj7
But I see where it's going

                   D
'Cause we've been running
'round in circles now for days
                   Bm
There's somethin' different
'bout the way you call my name
      F#m          Gmaj7
And I don't wanna fight,
                 F#m  Gmaj7
with the one I'm loving

Chorus:
            A       D  Bm
So why do I always lose?
        F#m Gmaj7
Before it
             F#m Gmaj7
Before it ends
            A       D  Bm
So why do I always lose?
         F#m Gmaj7
Before it
              F#m Gmaj7
Before it ends

We can't find the love
We don't know how we lost it
When we both get it wrong
And we don't know who caused it

'Cause we've been running
'round in circles now for days
There's something missing
in the way you call my name
(Call my name, yeah)
We both lost the love
We don't know how we lost it

Chorus:
So why do I always lose?
Before I win
Before it ends
So why do I always lose?
Before I win (Before I win, yeah)
Before it ends

F#m Gmaj7                            F#m Gmaj7 D
        Love's not lost if you still feel it
                              F#m Gmaj7 D
But faith's not gone if you believe it
                           F#m Gmaj7    D
You're never mine 'til the end of the night
                            A
We're not innocent 'til we both see it

Chorus:
Why do I always lose?
Before I win (Oh)
Before it ends
So why do I always lose?
Before I win (Yeah)
Before it ends
So why do I always lose?
Before I win (Before I win, yeah)
Before it ends

Before I win
Before it ends
