intro: D#, A#

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.
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.

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.

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#
And deep inside I knew that she was right.

You don't get no second chance.
