  They say some days you're gonna win

                                G     Gb F
They say some days you're gonna lose

                          G   Gb
I tell you I got news for you

       F                              G
You're losin' all the time, you never win, no

C                              E                           F  Fm
If you believe that's how it's gonna be I'd better put you down

C                                E
Get off your tightrope up there, come down on the ground

          F
You gotta save me now,

           Fm
You better turn around
[Chorus]
Am             F            Am      D7
   Hey! When I looked around, I was heading down

C     G/B Am C7 F        E7     Am
Won't somebo-dy throw me down a line
| F | G Gb | x2 [Verse 2]
F                              G     Gb F
  They say some days you gotta give

                             G     Gb F
They say some days you gotta take

                             G   Gb
If that's the way it's gotta be

F                G
Roll it over and you will see

C                            E                           F   Fm
The city streets are full of people going nowhere making time

C                               E
The change from night to day is really only hours

           F                        Fm
It's just along the line, can't you see the sign
[Chorus]
Am             F            Am      D7
   Hey! When I looked around, I was heading down

C     G/B Am C7 F        G      Cm
Won't somebo-dy throw me down a line!

  I want to look you straight in the eye

                                G     Gb F
I want to tell you how I really feel

[Chorus 2]
Am        F             Am      D7
   When I closed my eyes, I was so surprised
