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