Gm C Gm D
Gm C Gm D
Verse 1:
Gm C Gm D
I ve got no one to call my own
Gm C Gm D
Nobody calls me on the phone, I ve been disconnected
Gm C Gm D
I ve been evicted from my home
Gm C Gm D
Name and address care of unknown, it s been redirected
Chorus:
D#5 A# F
Now the open sky s my limit,
C#m A# A#7
And the sun s my point of view
D#5 F A# A#sus4
A#sus2 A#
This time I had to lose to win
Verse 2:
Gm C Gm D
I walk down Peachtree Avenue
Gm C Gm D
Nothing s the same since I lost you, it s to be expected
Gm C Gm D
I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
Gm C Gm D
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected
Chorus:
D#5 A# F
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,
C#m A# A#7
I had no overview
D#5 F A#
I just crawled out and walked away
D#5 A# F
Now I can t stop my mouth from grinning,
C#m A# A#7
and time is running thin
D#5 F A# A#sus4
A#sus2 A#
This time I had to lose to win

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