If I Can't Win

Verse 1:
(A7)
                 D
See the shadows over there
                        A
When the dim lamplight hits your chair
                       E
These are thoughts I never say
                     D    A
I make them hide and go away
             D
Overlooking what I see
                     A
In the past got the best of me
                     E
Orange curtains and pale blue walls
                      D       A
If I can’t win I’m a lose it all

D    Bm      E

Verse 2:
             D
I talk to my cigarettes
                        A
The most they listen is tenderness
              E
But I’ll have another one
                   D          A
It’s a new pack so they can’t run
                  D
Sometimes people walk the way
                    A
When they overhear what I say
               E
It’s just the same old call
                             D       A
If I can’t win I’m going to lose it all

D  Bm   E

Verse 3:
             D
Take a walk around this room
                       A
And the gifts that you took too soon
         E
Too many memories
               D        A
Drags out the worst in me
                    D
Saw  a picture book on the self
                 A
Was alone so I helped myself
                 E
Stand it up and watch it fall
                             D       A
If I can’t win I’m going to lose it all
                 E
Stand it up and watch it fall
                              D      A
If I can’t win I’m going to lose it all
