From the album Whispering Rain (released 1978) 
C:x32010 G:320001 F:xx3211 Asus2/F:xx3200 C/B:x2x010 Am:x02210
Dm:x00231
The Asus2/F chord is optional;play it by simply lifting your 1st finger 
from the F;where it's shown, it only gets about an eighth beat  
C        G          F
When the good times come at last
     C             G         F
It's only when the bad times rest
C    G                 F
Some day they're gonna lay you down
C               G        F
Even though you did your best
F              (Asus2/F) F
All the heroes    of     the war
   (Asus2/F)F          Dm
Forgot  -   ten in the rain
C   C/B        Am
Old photos and memories
F         G     C      
Make them young again

Refrain:
C         G 
You can't win
C         G
You can't win
       C                          F
You're just someone who plays the fool
C         G
You can't win
C         G 
You can't win
F                    G         C
I don't believe that life's so cruel

C         G       F
I'm gonna wear my finest suit
C      G               F
And go walk around the town
C      G         F    
Try to take this emptiness
C   G               F
And smash it on the ground
F                   (Asus2/F) F
I'm gonna watch the   fa -   ces
       (Asus2/F)F              Dm
On the child -  ren while they play
C          C/B      Am
And try to find the child in me
    F     G       C
And never have to say

Repeat refrain 2x
