Intro: Em D C  G C D   (x 4)

Verse:
Em  D         C      G           C           D
Oh, beautiful loser, what are we losing this time?
Em       D        C          G              C            D
A little sleep, another fool crushed at the scene of the crime
Em  D         C      G              C         D
Oh, beautiful loser, didn't mean to cause any pain
Em        D           C             G            C         D
What ever gave me the big idea that I could slow down your train?

Chorus:
G          Am          Bm               C           D     Dsus D  Dsus D
Your sweet lips, I can still taste your lips in the dawn
G           Am      Bm            C           D       Dsus  D
Will you be dancing when all your lovers have gone?
                 Am        Em   Dsus D
Oh, when they're gone

---------------------
2nd verse:

Oh, beautiful loser, best thing that I've ever seen
I never thought that the light of day could turn this dream so mean
Oh, beautiful loser, gaze into your crystal ball
It's a sad old story, a good man takes the fall

-------------
Repeat chorus

Instrumental verse & chorus, then intro (twice instead of 4 times)
------------------------------------------------------------------

3rd verse:

Oh, beautiful loser, oh what beautiful moves
You say 'boy, it's not a game', while you make your own rules
Oh, beautiful loser, what are we losing this time?
Another chance to beat the odds against the love that we might find

-------------------------------------------
Repeat chorus twice, last line 2nd time is:

I hope you're still dancing when all your lovers have gone
Oh, when they're gone
