Playin' late night crazy pot size games with the Asian dealers who
G F C
With all that tax free money got deeper pockets than I do
Fbm F
I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the list
Dm F Fm C
Who would go to Vegas with a game in town like this?
C F
Stuck in chilly morning traffic cuz I always played too long
G F C
Headed north across the bridge and wish'n you were there at home
Fbm F
You used to wake all sleepy headed and ask me if I won
Dm F Fm C
Sometimes I'd just say nothing and now I'm living with what I've done.
Fbm F C
I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been
Dm F Fm C
Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.
C F
The chips were racked and ready and I was standing up to leave
G F C
Looked down and caught a diamond queen tuggin' at my sleeve
Fbm F Dm
My bleary, up-all-nighted eyes misread it for a heart
Dm F Fm C
Now the money's gone, it's just past dawn and we're a half world apart.
Fbm F C
I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been
Dm F Fm C
Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.

I sat down with 'em one last time as I passed thru months ago
G F C
Donated a couple thousand, smiled, stood up and hit the road.
Fbm F Dm
With that old familiar empty feelin' of time and treasure lost
Dm F Fm C
The game's the same, ain't nothin's changed except now I know the cost
Fbm F C
I'm a losin' lately gambler but I've booked my share of wins
G F C
I still see some value there but my edge is pretty thin
Fbm F C
I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been
Dm F Fm C
Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.
Fbm F Dm
I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the list
