The Losin' Kind - Bruce Springsteen

Tuning: EADGBE
Capo II
E Esus E
E
My name is Frank Davis, drive a Dixie 109
B E
I was out on Highway 17, just south of Camden Line
E Esus E
It was down there in the heart of Wilsonville where I met my fate
B E
She was standing outside the bar room, said she was waiting for a date
A E Esus E
But I knew that that was just a line
B E Esus E
And I knew I was messin' with a losin' kind
E Esus E
Well I knew what we were both doing, and I knew that you can't win
B
But when the light turned green, I reached across the seat
E Esus E
Popped the lock and she slid in
E
She said she liked Mexican music, she knew a place if I had the time
B
Well we had a few drinks and we danced a while
E Esus E
I pulled her close, she didn't mind
A E Esus E
And what I knew kinda slipped my mind
B E Esus E
And I couldn't resist her messin' with a losin' kind
E
Well we drove around in my Buick, getting drunk and having fun
B E Esus E
Well we ended up at this Best Western, out on Highway 101
E
It was around 3 a.m. we went out to this empty little road side bar
B
It was there the cash register was open
E Esus E
It was there I hit that guy too hard
A E Esus E
But I knew when I hit him for the second time
B E Esus E
That one attracts the other when you're the losin' kind
Solo:
A E B E
E
Well I grabbed her hand to get out of there and I felt like I was gonna be sick
B
And a half hour later the sleet started coming down
E Esus E
And that highway got pretty slick
E
I seen some lights in my rear-view mirror, I guess I panicked and I gave her the gun
B E
Well then I wrapped us around a telephone pole south on Highway 101
E
Well she just stumbled out on to the banks and sat down in a pout
B E Esus E
Well I kicked out the driver side window but buddy when I got out
E
Well all I had to greet me was a Highway Patrolman's 45
B E Esus E
He looked at the wreck and then he said "Son, you're lucky to be alive"
A E Esus E
"Well Sir, I'll think that one over if you don't mind
B E Esus E
Now luck ain't much good to you when it's the losin' kind
