Cm F Cm G
I ve got no one to call my own

Nobody calls me on the phone, I ve been disconnected

Name and address care of unknown, it s been redirected

I walk down Peachtree Avenue

Cm F Cm G
I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
Cm F Cm G
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected
Chorus:
G#5 D# A#
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,
F#m D# D#7
I had no overview
G#5 A# D#
I just crawled out and walked away
G#5 D# A#
Now I can t stop my mouth from grinning,
F#m D# D#7
and time is running thin

D#sus2 D#
This time I had to lose to win

Chorus:
G#5 D# A#
I know I should be feeling,
F#m D# D#7
a lot worse than I do
G#5 A# D#
As past due payment for my sins
G#5 D# A#
But I m done with pain from kneeling,
F#m D# D#7
And the sky s still coloured blue
G#5 A# D# D#sus4
D#sus2 D#
This time I had to lose to win
