[Intro] D# A# [Verse 1]
      D#                    G#
I was brought in this world 1962,

   D#                         A#
I didn't have much choice you see. 

           D#                        G#
But by the time I was eight, I could tell it was too late,

      D#      A#                    D#
I was already barking up the wrong tree.
[Verse 2]
     D#                  G#                   
When I was in school you thought I was a fool,

    D#                       A#  
In trouble, breaking all the rules.

      D#                          G#
I was absent from class, my daddy spanked my bare ass,

      D#         A#         D#  
But I sure tried hard to be cool.
[Chorus]
G#            D#
Born to lose, was what they said,

    A#                    D# fill
You know I was better off dead.

G#            D#
Born to lose, you're just bad news,

         A#     G#          D#
You don't get no second chance.
[Verse 3]
         D#                   G#   
It was a hot summer night in mid July,

   D#                  A#
A hangover and a black eye.

           D#                    G#
Your momma said I was a loser, a dead end cruiser, 

    D#             A#               D#  fill
And deep inside I knew that she was right.
[Chorus]
G#            D#
Born to lose, was what they said,

    A#                    D# fill
You know I was better off dead.

G#            D#
Born to lose, you're just bad news,

         A#     G#          D#  A#
You don't get no second chance.

           D#                                  G#
I tried to get myself a job because that's the way that things are, 

      D#                      A#    
Wanna have nice things and go far. 

         D#              G#
Well I'm sorry Honey, I ain't got much money

          D#             A#       D#            
But I can sure play this here old Guitar. 
[Verse 5]
        D#              G# 
As the years went on, I made a few mistakes 

          D#                         A#
It was a Troublebound for this young Man. 

            D#                           G#
The police knockin' at my door, "Well he don't live here no more, 

         D#           A#           D#  fill
And he's playin' in a rock 'n'Roll band."
[Chorus]

         A#     G#          D#  fill
You don't get no second chance.

You know I was better off dead.

G#            D#
