[Verse 1]
E C#
Millie came up playing in the boys’ clubs, but they made her play at midnight or at eight
B A E
Her friends all said the times were finally changin’, and it only felt a few centuries too late
E C#
Her eyes were always deep inside a notebook, her hands were always tuning her guitar
B A E
And while some stay busy waiting for permission, she was on her way to be a star
[Chorus 1]
E
And if you’d asked her if anyone had held her back
C# E
She’d tell you she’d forgot most of their names
B
‘Cause the losers only think about the winners
A E
The winners only think about the game
[Verse 2]
E C#
And then Millie fell in love with a civilian, or at least we know he fell in love with her
B A E
He could see how bright her light was shining, he could feel how wild her fire burned
E C#
But love has its own kind of symmetry, you have to give as much as you receive
B A E
And once he realized he could never give her nothing, he decided it was time for him to leave
[Chorus 2]
E
But now he likes to criticize her privately
C# E
While she simply says that neither were to blame
B
‘Cause the losers only think about the winners
A E
The winners only think about the game
[Verse 3]
E C#
So Millie kept on adding to the setlist, working on her studio ten
B A E
And for the first time found it hard telling the difference, between all her friends and all her fans
E C#
Which left her with a special brand of emptiness, she channelled right back into the songs
B A E
She wasn’t gonna ask herself the question, if this is what she wanted all along
[Chorus 3]
E
Some people said she was a genius
C# E
Some people said she was insane
B
But those losers only talk about the winners
A E
And those winners only think about the game
[Verse 4]
E C#
So Millie knew just when the dust was settled, when it’s time to put the pencil down
B A E
When the harmony is only just a shadow, of the way it felt the first hundred times around
E C#
Which left it to the critics and the experts, to tell the world how Millie really felt
B A E
To somehow say she lost some competition, she was only ever having with herself
[Chorus 4]
E
Some might look for meaning in the ashes
C# E
She just misses standing in the flames
B
‘Cause those losers only think about the winners
A E
And the winners only think about the game
B
Oh-oh, the losers only think about the winners
A E
The winners only think about the game
