The Losing Part


G You can climb a whole lot of stairs when your legs are younger. D7 You can get along on nothing when you're making a start. D D7 You can eat brown rice and hope with time on your side, D6 G But it gets much harder when you get to the losing part. C G When it never came true - never happened for you; D G It just slowly faded away, till it broke your heart. C G Some dreams die harder, some are living yet; D7 G Sooner or later you get to the losing part.

And there's a whole lot of fish in the sea when you first start fishing.
You're gonna take your time in choosing; you're gonna be smart.
And there ain't no need to hurry when you're looking 'em over,
But it's time to worry when you get to the losing part.

When it never came true - never happened for you;
It just slowly faded away, till it broke your heart.
Some dreams die harder, some are living yet;
Sooner or later you get to the losing part.

You think that love's forever when you're a beginner,
And there's just one love for life in a constant heart.
And you're so sure that love's made you a winner
Right up to the day when you get to the losing part.

When it never came true - never happened for you;
It just slowly faded away, till it broke your heart.
Some dreams die harder, some are living yet;
Sooner or later you get to the losing part.
Sooner or later you get to the losing part.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 2010)
