C#m F# C#m G#
I ve got no one to call my own

I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
C#m F# C#m G#
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected
Chorus:
A5 E B
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,
Gm E E7

Gm E E7
and time is running thin

This time I had to lose to win

Chorus:
A5 E B
I know I should be feeling,
Gm E E7
a lot worse than I do
A5 B E
As past due payment for my sins

But I m done with pain from kneeling,
Gm E E7
And the sky s still coloured blue

Esus2 E
This time I had to lose to win
