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

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