[F#] was sitting by the road, my head in a cloud, wishing that I [A] had some wings, [B]
wish [F#] for a
scooter, wish for a train, or any [Am] kind of moving [B] thing.
Well I looked at the trees, I looked at the sky, seen it was a lonely [A] day.
[F#] Then I looked at the road, and then I looked and I think, I picked [E] it up and walked [B] away.
You [A] cannot win.
[E] [B]
Yes you say, you say, you say, you [A] cannot win.
You cannot [E] [B] win.
Went to the fair, looking for fun, I think the whole world [A] was there.
[F#] I saw a fat man, I saw a dead man, [B] saw a [E] little teddy [B] bear.
Look I said to myself, I know what I'm gonna do, gotta get a [E] bear [A] some day.
I [F#] heard a loud voice, said a few [B] words, [A] gotta take a [B] chance and play.
Boy you [A] cannot win, [E] cannot win, you [B] cannot win.

[B] And the night is so clear, the moon is so bright, you're wasting the [A] fall.
[B] You're up on a hill, I'm down here below, I told you [A] girl I'm in [B] okay.
