Heads You Win, Tails I Lose (Brian Wilson/Gary Usher)


A...................G..........................F.....................E
Every time, we have a fight, we flip a coin to see who's right

...........A................................................F#m
Why do we have to gamble just to see who's right?
.............A...............................F#m
Why can't we arbitrarily resolve a fight?
..........D....................................................................E
But with you're style of gamblin' there's no chance to win
..............D.....................................................E
That's how it is, and that's the way it's always been

F#m.......................E.................F#m.....................E............................A
Heads you win, tails I lose, heads, you win, tails, I lose, bad news

....A............................................................F#m
If we were playing cards you'd be the one to deal
.............A......................................................F#m
You'd play with loaded dice and fix the roulette wheel
..........D...............................................E
You pick 'em at the races like I've never seen
...........D.......................................................E
And then you make me pay off like a slot machine

....................D
Oh well, match me honey (match me honey)
A
Take my money (take my money)
.............................................D..................................B7..........E
You know the odds are yours (flip it baby), so flip the coin

.........A............................................................F#m
I'm gonna make some changes with this gamblin' game
............A...............................................F#m
From now on I'm the dealer and I'll do the same

I'll load my dice and stack the deck and fix the odds again
