Takes

Lyrics

[verse]

Every table has a bet laid down

Every player wears a different frown

I keep folding when I should walk away

Watching all my chances fade to gray

[chorus]

Such a shame

Playing out the same old game

Such a shame

And I've got nobody else to blame

[verse]

I could read the signs but chose to stay

Told myself the odds would go my way

Now the table's empty, and the lights are low

And I'm the only fool who didn't know

[chorus]

Such a shame

Playing out the same old game

Such a shame

And I've got nobody else to blame

[bridge]

Maybe next time I'll learn the lesson

Maybe next time I'll walk before the reckoning

But tonight I'm just another loser

Counting up the cost of what I'm choosing

[chorus]

Such a shame

Playing out the same old game

Such a shame

And I've got nobody else to blame

## Lyrics
[verse]
Every table has a bet laid down
Every player wears a different frown
I keep folding when I should walk away
Watching all my chances fade to gray

[chorus]
Such a shame
Such a shame
Playing out the same old game
Such a shame
Such a shame
And I've got nobody else to blame

[verse]
I could read the signs but chose to stay
Told myself the odds would go my way
Now the table's empty, and the lights are low
And I'm the only fool who didn't know

[chorus]
Such a shame
Such a shame
Playing out the same old game
Such a shame
Such a shame
And I've got nobody else to blame

[bridge]
Maybe next time I'll learn the lesson
Maybe next time I'll walk before the reckoning
But tonight I'm just another loser
Counting up the cost of what I'm choosing

[chorus]
Such a shame
Such a shame
Playing out the same old game
Such a shame
Such a shame
And I've got nobody else to blame
