VERSE:
D
I lost my dad at three
                    A
Along with half my family tree
    D
And I lost my virginity

Later than everybody
 A7
And still wasn't ready

D
I lost my first hometown
               A
And a box with my homecoming crown
 D
Chasing down that Nashville sound
         A
In a 92 hand-me-down but


CHORUS:
D
I was born in a town called Winner
Bm
And my name means victory
A
So you can only imagine
 G
All of the pressure I put on me, oh 
it's

 D
Two points for the girl in the 
mirror
Bm
A gold star for the girl next door

But what good is being a winner
When all you're doin's keeping score

VERSE:

I lost some weight at 22
 G
Some guy twice my age told me to

Already won the game
       Bm

And I lost my head
       A
But I found my voice

And I made my own bed 'cause

D
I was born in a town called Winner

And my name means victory
A

All of the pressure put on me, oh 
it's

 D
Two points for your first gold 
record
 Bm
You're number one but you want one

 A                         G
What good is being a winner
                           D  Bm7  
Nobody's even keeping score
A  G



VERSE:
D
I thought if I could just be a 
winner
 Bm
That's all anybody would see
 A
But I'm over overachieving
 G
These days my greatest victory is a


CHORUS:
 D
High five for the girl making dinner
 Bm7
First place for a family of four
A                                 G
I was born in a town called Winner
                              D  
But I don't live there anymore
