Fdim


[Verse 1]

C        Dm7/G          Fdim      Cmaj7
 For you I was a flame; love is a losing game.
C                Dm7/G        Fdim      Cmaj7
 Five story fire as you came; love is a losing game.


[Chorus 1]

Am7           Dm7           Fm7       Cmaj7
 One I wish I never played; oh what a mess we made.
            Dm7/G       Fm         Cmaj7
And now the final frame; love is a losing game.

[Verse 2]

C           Dm7/G        Fdim      Cmaj7
 Played out by the band; love is a losing hand.
C          Dm7/G          Fdim      Cmaj7
 More than I could stand; love is a losing hand.


[Chorus 2]

Am7              Dm7       Fm7       Cmaj7
 Self professed, profound; 'till the chips were down.
              Dm7/G        Fm         Cmaj7
Know you’re a gambling man; love is a losing hand.

[Verse 3]

C          Dm7/G       Fdim       Cmaj7
 Though I battle blind; love is a fate resigned.
C         Dm7/G       Fdim       Cmaj7
 Memories mar my mind; love is a fate resigned.


[Chorus 3]

Am7   Dm7         Fm              Cmaj7
 Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods.
            Dm7/G       Fm         Cmaj7
And now the final frame; love is a losing game.
