Verse 1
Millie (D major) came
up playin' in the boys' clubs
But they (B minor) made her play at
midnight or at eight (G major)
Her (A major) friends all said the times
were finally changin'
(G major) It only felt (G minor) a few (G major) centuries too late (D major)
Her eyes were always deep
inside her notebook
(G major) Her (A major) (B minor) hands were always tuning her guitar
(G major) And while (A major) some stayed busy
waiting for permission
She (G major) was on her way to be a star
(D major) But if you (G major) asked her if (C major) anyone
(G major) had held it back
She'd tell you (D major) she forgot
most (A major) of their (B minor) names
The (A major) losers only think about the (G major) winners
The winners only think
about the game (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
If
(D major) Millie fell in (A major) love with a civil (D major) ian
Or at (B minor) least we know he
fell in love with her (G major)
He (A major) could see how bright
her light was shinin'
He (G major) could feel how wild her fire burned (D major)
But love has its own kind of symmetries
(G major) You have (B minor) to give as much as you receive
(G major) And (A major) once he realized he would
never give her nothin'
He (G major) decided it was time for him to leave
(D major) But now (G major) he likes to criticize her privately
While she (D major) simply says that
neither were (A major) to blame (B minor)
The (A major) losers only think about the (D major) winners
But (G major) (D major) the (G major) winners only think
about the game (D major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
So
Milly (D major) kept on adding to the set list
And (B minor) working on her studio tent
And for the first (A major) time found it hard
telling the difference
Between (G major) all her friends and (A major) all her fans (D major)
Which left her with a special
bread of emptiness
She channeled (B minor) right back into the songs
She wasn't (A major) gonna ask herself the question
If (G major) this is what she wanted all along (D major)
Some (G major) people said she was a genius
Some (D major) people said she was in (B minor) sane
But those (A major) losers only think about the
winners (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (B minor)
(D major) (G major)
She (E minor) wouldn't suffer any fruits (B minor)
She (G major) (A major) danced to (B minor) her own (D major) rhythm
(E minor) She wasn't playin' by the rules (B minor)
She (D major) (G major) was playin' with (A major) them
Nellie knew (D major) just when the
dust was settled
When (G major) it's time (B minor) to put
the pencil down (G major)
When (A major) the harmony is only just a shadow
Of the (G major) way it felt the first hundred times
(A major) around
(D major) Which (G major) (D major) left it to the critics and the experts
(G major) (D major) To (A major) (B minor) tell the world how
Millie really felt
(G major) To (A major) somehow say she'd
lost her competition
(G major) She was only ever having with herself
For (D major) (G major) some
I'd look for meaning in the ashes
She just (D major) misses standing in (G major) the flame (B minor)
And the (A major) losers only think
about the winners
(G major) The winners only think about the game
(D major) Oh, the (A major) losers only think
about the winners (G major)
The winners only think about
