[Verse 1]
         Eb
Well the lucky in love
Ab                Eb
Call themselves, "Winners"

And losers are sinners

who have gone astray

As if I woke up
Ab         Eb
Lonely one morning
       Ab         Eb
Looked around and decided
         Bb       Eb
I would stay that way, oh

[Chorus]
Eb           Bb
You knock me down and
    Ab        Eb
you call me, "Crazy"
Eb           Bb          Ab      Eb
You say I'm never gonna love someone
Eb       Bb
Give it time now and
    Ab         Eb
you might find maybe, I
Eb         Bb
Prove you wrong when
    Ab        Eb
the right one comes

Won't be long 'til the right one comes

And I know people

Lost what they needed
        Bb
in some miserable war

So forgive me if I might

Now I'm lying in my bed
Ab            Eb
End of a long day
Ab               Eb
Headed the wrong way down
     Bb
that highway of dreams
              Eb
When you're a little unsure
           Ab     Eb
of whatcha headed for
    Ab         Eb
The end of the road ain't
   Bb          Eb
as close as it seems
