Em A Em B
I walk down Peachtree Avenue

I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
Em A Em B
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected

C5 G D
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,

C5 G D
I know I should be feeling,

A#m G G7
And the sky s still coloured blue

This time I had to lose to win
