Heads You Win - Tails I Lose: Beach Boys Album - Surfin' Safari - #32 on BB Hot 200 on CAPITOL Records in 1962. INTRO:
A           G                F                  E
Every time, we have a fight..we flip a coin, to see
who's riiiiiiight. #1.
    A                     F#m
Why do we have to gamble, just to see who's right?

    A                        F#m
Why can't we, arbitrarily, resolve a fight?

    D                                    E
But with your style of gamblin', there's no chance to win.

       D                                  E
That's how it is, and that's the way it's always been.
CHORUS:
F#m             E
Heads, you win..tails, I lose.

F#m             E
Heads, you win..tails, I lose.

    A
Bad news.
#2.
   A                                   F#m
If we were playing cards, you'd be the one to deal.

      A                                 F#m
You'd play with loaded dice and fix the roulette wheel.

    D                                E
You pick 'em at the races, like I've never seen.

    D                                E
And then you make me pay off, like a slot machine.
CHORUS:
F#m             E
Heads, you win..tails, I lose.

F#m             E
Heads, you win..tails, I lose.

    A
Bad news.
BRIDGE:
          D
Oh, well, match me honey..(match me honey.)

A
Take my money..(take my money.)

             D
You know the odds are yours..(flip it baby.)

    B7        E
So, flip..the coin.
#3.
    A                                 F#m
I'm gonna make some changes with this gamblin' game.

     A                               F#m
From now on, I'm the dealer and I'll do the same.

     D                                   E
I'll load my dice and stack the deck and fix the odds again.

    D                                E
So, if you want to flip to see who's right, I know I'll win.
CHORUS:
F#m           E
Heads, I win..tails, you lose.

F#m           E
Heads, I win..tails, you lose.
