Playin' late night crazy pot size games with the Asian dealers who
F D# A#
With all that tax free money got deeper pockets than I do
Dm D#
I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the list
Cm D# D#m A#
Who would go to Vegas with a game in town like this?
A# D#
Stuck in chilly morning traffic cuz I always played too long
F D# A#
Headed north across the bridge and wish'n you were there at home
Dm D#
You used to wake all sleepy headed and ask me if I won
Cm D# D#m A#
Sometimes I'd just say nothing and now I'm living with what I've done.
Dm D# A#
I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been
Cm D# D#m A#
Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.
A# D#
The chips were racked and ready and I was standing up to leave
F D# A#
Looked down and caught a diamond queen tuggin' at my sleeve
Dm D# Cm
My bleary, up-all-nighted eyes misread it for a heart
Cm D# D#m A#
Now the money's gone, it's just past dawn and we're a half world apart.
Dm D# A#
I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been
Cm D# D#m A#
Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.
[Solo] Dm D# A# Cm D# D#m A#
A# D#
I sat down with 'em one last time as I passed thru months ago
F D# A#
Donated a couple thousand, smiled, stood up and hit the road.
Dm D# Cm
With that old familiar empty feelin' of time and treasure lost
Cm D# D#m A#
The game's the same, ain't nothin's changed except now I know the cost
Dm D# A#
I'm a losin' lately gambler but I've booked my share of wins
F D# A#
I still see some value there but my edge is pretty thin
Dm D# A#
I'm a losin' lately gambler but that's not all I've ever been
Cm D# D#m A#
Cuttin' back your losses is just another way to win.
Dm D# Cm
I can't fade that kind of action but my name's there on the list
