VERSE 1
        E                     Eii
  I was brought in this world 1962.
    E                           B
  I didn't have much choice you see.
             E                         Eii
  But by the time I was eight, I could tell it was too late.
    E   Eii                          E 
  I was already barking up the wrong tree.

(same chords)
  Well, when I was school, you thought I was a fool.
  In trouble, breaking all the rules.
  I was absent from class, my daddy spanked my bare ass.
  I sure tried hard to be cool.

CHORUS
  E                Eii
  Born to lose was what they said.
  E                   B                FILL 1
  You know that I was better off dead.
  E                      Eii
  Born to lose, you know you're just bad news.
  E         Eii                    E
  You know, you don't get a second chance.

VERSE 2 (same chords)
  It was a hot summer night in Mid July.
  A hangover and a black eye.
  Your Momma said I was a loser, a dead end cruiser.
  And deep inside I knew that she was right.

VERSE 3 (same chords)
  I try to get myself a job, because of the way that things are.
  If I have nice things I can go far.
  Well, I'm sorry, honey, I ain't got much money.
  But I can sure play this here old guitar.

  As the years went on, I made a few mistakes.
  It was a troublebound for this young man.
  The police knockin' on my door, well, he don't live here no more.
  He's playin' in a rock 'n' roll band.

SOLO (same one)
