Verse 1:
D#m G# D#m A#
I ve got no one to call my own
D#m G# D#m A#
Nobody calls me on the phone, I ve been disconnected
D#m G# D#m A#
I ve been evicted from my home
D#m G# D#m A#
Name and address care of unknown, it s been redirected
Chorus:
B5 F# C#
Now the open sky s my limit,
Am F# F#7
And the sun s my point of view

Verse 2:
D#m G# D#m A#
I walk down Peachtree Avenue
D#m G# D#m A#
Nothing s the same since I lost you, it s to be expected
D#m G# D#m A#
I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
D#m G# D#m A#
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected
Chorus:
B5 F# C#
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,
Am F# F#7
I had no overview
B5 C# F#
I just crawled out and walked away
B5 F# C#
Now I can t stop my mouth from grinning,
Am F# F#7
and time is running thin
B5 C# F# F#sus4
F#sus2 F#
This time I had to lose to win

Chorus:
B5 F# C#
I know I should be feeling,
Am F# F#7
a lot worse than I do
B5 C# F#
As past due payment for my sins
B5 F# C#
But I m done with pain from kneeling,
Am F# F#7
And the sky s still coloured blue

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