Second best will be my destiny, I never knew
    Cm        Fm               Cm       Fm      Cm    G7     Cm 
How I've been blessed with this gift to mess up everything I do 
Cm       Fm        Cm       Fm         Cm       Fm      Cm
Could've been that ain't my thing, I'd wait and find my way
Cm            Fm         Cm       Fm   Cm   Fm    Cm 
But I've been stuck down on my luck forever and a day 


Fm         G             Cm     F   
    So you put me to the test 
Fm           G                Cm      F
    and I'll play this game again, I guess 
  Fm       G               Cm          F
I kick and crawl, still I stumble and fall
  Fm       G            Cm
Behind the rest, second best

       Cm      Fm         Cm       Fm        Cm       Fm       Cm 
'Cause I ain't savoured fortune's favour for I don't know how long
Cm   Fm      Cm     Fm        Cm        Fm      Cm
Also ran was not my plan, I'd change if I could choose
      Cm     Fm       Cm    Fm     Cm       G7        Cm
Who'd deal a man such lousy hands? Why am I doomed to lose? 


Fm         G            Cm     F   
    So you ask me once again 
Fm           G               Cm        F
    and I'll play the hand I have, but then 
    Fm       G             Cm          F
You kick and crawl 'til I fumble and fall
       Fm      G             Cm
I give up, you win, could've been
