G                                        C 
I said I'm through with honkytonks they only bring me down 
     D                                                    G 
So I dressed my best and headed for the brightest spot in town 
                                        C 
I've watched the rich folks come and go and one thing's very clear 
D                                  G 
There's just as many lonely people here 
 
Chorus : 
G                                        C 
I'm just hanging round a better class of losers 
D                                    G 
It don't matter if you drink beer or champagne 
                                  C 
I've only found a better class of losers 
D                                G 
Uptown downtown misery's all the same 
 
Solo : 
 
G                                   C 
It's all been downhill for me since baby walked away 
D                                                             G 
I'm down here at the bottom now and I guess that's where I'll stay 
                                C 
I'm a looking for an answer but all that I've seen here 
D                                 G 
Is the same old lonely phony atmosphere 
 
Chorus : 
G                                        C 
I'm just hanging round a better class of losers 
D                                    G 
It don't matter if you drink beer or champagne 
                                  C 
I've only found a better class of losers 
D                                G 
Uptown downtown misery's all the same 
 
D                          G 
For the blues is still the blues 
                         C 
Is still just as hard to lose 
D                                G 
Uptown downtown misery's all the same
