Verse 1:
D
You've quite a life you live now
A                       D
Did your lumbar give out?
                   A
Your foot ain't in a beeping anklet
D

Why do you look so unwell?
       A
Why so afraid of yourself
     D
And terrified to leave your stasis


Pre-Chorus:
G                    D
I watched you stretch an hour to a day
       Bm          D
Didn't used to do things that way
G                 D
Remember when our friends did the same
    Bm             D
And we called them weak?
Em                         N.C.
Don't you go checking out on me now


Chorus:
                        G        D/F#
Don't you know you're a winner?
                   G
I have never met a winner who
D/F#                      G
I have never met a winner who
         Bm           Em
Hates to win quite as much as you do
G
Don't you know you're a winner?

Verse 2:
D
We stuck it out 'til daybreak
                A                    D
Five years, not once did you wake
                        A
With any sort of rested temper


Pre-Chorus:
G                         D
I watched you watch your dreams come true
        Bm
Just to fall back asleep
A                G          D/F#
Don't you remember when we didn't mind the mess
         Bm
Did much more with so much less
          Em                N.C.
Don't you go checking out on me now


Chorus:
                        G        D/F#
Don't you know you're a winner?
                   G
I have never met a winner who
D/F#                      G
I have never met a winner who
         Bm           Em
Hates to win quite as much as you do
          G
Don't you know you're a winner?

Verse 3:
        G
You could've been a god
D                       Bm
If you'd just done as I told you
Em               D           N.C.    D
But you'd rather waste away
                  Bm      Em
In your voluntary coma
                G
Get over it and grow up


Verse 4:
     D*
Just stop
                         A
I don't want to have you in my head
         A/C#           Bm
I would take that coma any day
                   Em
Over anything you'd do instead

Em D Em


Bridge:
G                      D
I watched you keep the ends in sights
        Bm
And the means in tears
A             G            D/F#
And I watched you cast our friends to the side
   Bm
If they ever interfered
A                     G
And I let you keep me up all night
    D/F#
For five whole years
    E          F       E
And I let you eat me alive
                      G
Don't you think for a second
                          N.C.
That you're welcome here now


Outro:
                   G
I don't wanna be a winner
D/F#                G
I don't wanna be a winner who
D/F#                      G
I don't wanna be a winner who
       Bm          Em
Has to win in the way that you do
G
I don't wanna be a winner
D/F#           G
I don't wanna possess you
  D/F#                 G
I would rather be this mess
          Bm            Em
Than the one you would turn me into
G          Bm           Em
Than the one you would turn me into
G                 D/F#      Em
Than the one you would have me do
G                Bm          Em
Than the one checking out on me now
G             Bm        Em       D
Than the old dog I am gonna put down
G             Bm        Em       D
Than the old dog I am gonna put down
G             Bm        Em      D
Than the old dog I am gonna put down
              G
There you go, checking out on me now
