TEMPER OF DEFEAT
Words by Urban Tapestry
Music based on "Temper of Revenge" by Julia Ecklar

Dm           Am     Dm  F     Am
Tickled were we to see our names
      Dm   Gm      A-A7
as Pegasus nominees
   Dm           Gm    Am          Dm
We pictured the press flocking around, as we
Gm                        A-A7
pose and smile and say "cheeeeese".

Dm     Am        Dm F    Am
Fame assured, or so we thought
      Dm       Gm         A-A7
We'd tour in a van of our own
Dm         Gm           Am          Dm
Record producers would drool at our feet
   Gm                      A
And Oprah would be on the phone.

CHORUS:
Dm            Am         Dm   F    Am
Find me the strength to lose with grace
Dm         F      G          A
Find me an "L" to put on my face
Dm            F        C     Dm
Find me some booze so I can cheer, for
C       Am          Dm-A   Dm       Am          Dm
All the winners this year, all the winners this year.


Shocked were we when we lost
What a tragedy
There goes our van, Oprah and fame
There goes MTV.

Will we survive this ego blow
How will we pass the test? (Well...)
Everyone knows the cure for all woe...
Chocolate is the best!     (then CHORUS)


CHORUS:
Find me the strength to lose with grace
Find me an "L" to put on my face
Find me some CHOCOLATE  so I can cheer, for
All the winners this year, all the winners this year.
