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