      Am
I'm a loser
      Am
I'm a loser
         F
And I'm not what I appear to be

C                       F           G
Of all the love I have won or have lost
                            F           G
there is one love I should never have crossed
C                    F            G
She was a girl in a million, my friend
C                              F         G
I should have known she would win in the end

Chorus:
       Am
I'm a loser
       F                  G
And I lost someone who's near to me
      Am
I'm a loser
         F            G
And I'm not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

Chorus

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it's true, pride comes before a fall
I'm telling you so that you won't lose all

Chorus
