Verse 1:
Am D Am E
I ve got no one to call my own
Am D Am E
Nobody calls me on the phone, I ve been disconnected
Am D Am E
I ve been evicted from my home
Am D Am E
Name and address care of unknown, it s been redirected
Chorus:
F5 C G
Now the open sky s my limit,
D#m C C7
And the sun s my point of view
F5 G C Csus4

Verse 2:
Am D Am E
I walk down Peachtree Avenue
Am D Am E
Nothing s the same since I lost you, it s to be expected
Am D Am E
I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
Am D Am E
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected
Chorus:
F5 C G
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,
D#m C C7
I had no overview
F5 G C
I just crawled out and walked away
F5 C G
Now I can t stop my mouth from grinning,
D#m C C7
and time is running thin

Csus2 C
This time I had to lose to win

Chorus:
F5 C G
I know I should be feeling,
D#m C C7
a lot worse than I do
F5 G C
As past due payment for my sins
F5 C G
But I m done with pain from kneeling,
D#m C C7
And the sky s still coloured blue
F5 G C Csus4
Csus2 C
This time I had to lose to win
