Fm A# Fm C
I ve got no one to call my own

Nobody calls me on the phone, I ve been disconnected

I ve been evicted from my home

Name and address care of unknown, it s been redirected

I walk down Peachtree Avenue

Fm A# Fm C
I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
Fm A# Fm C
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected
Chorus:
C#5 G# D#
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,
Bm G# G#7
I had no overview
C#5 D# G#
I just crawled out and walked away

Now I can t stop my mouth from grinning,
Bm G# G#7
and time is running thin

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

Chorus:
C#5 G# D#
I know I should be feeling,
Bm G# G#7
a lot worse than I do
C#5 D# G#
As past due payment for my sins
C#5 G# D#
But I m done with pain from kneeling,
Bm G# G#7
And the sky s still coloured blue

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