  G                     G7                C             A
I said I'm through with honky tonks, they only bring me down
  D                                                    G
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                G7              C
I'm just hangin' around a better class of losers
         D                                 G
It don't matter if you drink bear or cham- -pagne
                  G7              C
I've only found a better class of losers
D                             G
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same

      G                   G7                C              A
Well, it's been all down- hill for me since baby walked a- way
    D                                                     G
I'm down here at the bottom and I guess that's where I'll stay
                                                        C
And I'm looking for the answers, but all that I've seen here
       D                            G
Is the same old lonely phony atmos- phere

[Chorus]
         G                G7              C
I'm just hangin' around a better class of losers
         D                                 G
It don't matter if you drink bear or cham- -pagne
                  G7              C
I've only found a better class of losers
D                             G
Uptown, downtown misery's all the same

          G                                C
Yeah, the blues are still the blues, still just as hard to lose
D                              G
Uptown, downtown, misery's all the same
