Lose To Win

• Bm

Notes:
1)FOR STRUMMING PATTERN: I'd suggest choppy for the 1st B minor of each verse line and
smooth for the E with the second B minor and F sharp being fairly brief and changing. For
the verse keep it smooth but for the progression of D, Dsus2 and Dsus4 at the end this 
should be a quicker flourish. For the bridge keep the strumming rhythmic but emphasise the
first beat and let the D to D7 be a more freely/quickly strummed progression.
2) WHERE I'VE PUT E*: basically play a  D chord  but two frets up, this is still an E
but it just sounds more like the piece
3) Where I've put an F# I believe this to be an F chord but up 1 fret.
4) Feel free to mess around with E7 a bit in the verse as a flourish at the end of the
E, this isn't in the piece, but it's a nice embellishment. As is using a second Dsus2 to
get back to the verse from the chorus.
5) Enjoy the piece! This should be fairly accurate as it's based on live video footage
and a seasoned ear, but by all means dabble yourself and send me any suggestions or
messages on twitter (@SmallGardenBird)p.s get a kazoo for the 'doo' bits!

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

Chorus:
G5           D        A
Now the open sky s my limit,
Fm               D        D7
And the sun s my point of view
G5          A              D     Dsus4

Verse 2:
Bm                       E      Bm  F#
I walk down Peachtree Avenue
Bm                              E            Bm   F#
Nothing s the same since I lost you, it s to be expected
Bm                                      E     Bm  F#
I never thought that I d stoop quite so low
Bm                              E           Bm   F#
You had no choice but to up and go you felt so rejected

Chorus:
G5                 D             A
I crashed with the wheels still spinning,
Fm       D   D7
I had no overview
G5             A               D
I just crawled out and walked away
G5                  D          A
Now I can t stop my mouth from grinning,
Fm          D       D7
and time is running thin
G5          A              D    Dsus4
Dsus2  D
This time I had to lose to win

Chorus:
G5       D         A
I know I should be feeling,
Fm          D      D7
a lot worse than I do
G5          A              D
As past due payment for my sins
G5                D         A
But I m done with pain from kneeling,
Fm                  D        D7
