Verse 1:
G#m C# G#m D#
I ve got no one to call my own
G#m C# G#m D#
Nobody calls me on the phone, I ve been disconnected
G#m C# G#m D#
I ve been evicted from my home
G#m C# G#m D#
Name and address care of unknown, it s been redirected

Now the open sky s my limit,

I walk down Peachtree Avenue
G#m C# G#m D#
Nothing s the same since I lost you, it s to be expected
G#m C# G#m D#
I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
G#m C# G#m D#
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected
Chorus:
E5 B F#
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,
Dm B B7
I had no overview
E5 F# B
I just crawled out and walked away

Now I can t stop my mouth from grinning,
Dm B B7
and time is running thin

Bsus2 B
This time I had to lose to win

Chorus:
E5 B F#
I know I should be feeling,
Dm B B7
a lot worse than I do
E5 F# B
As past due payment for my sins

But I m done with pain from kneeling,
Dm B B7
And the sky s still coloured blue

Bsus2 B
This time I had to lose to win
