If I Can't Win

Verse 1:
(A7A7)
         D MajorD
See the shadows over there
            A augmentedA
When the dim lamplight hits your chair
            E MajorE
These are thoughts I never say
           D MajorD  A augmentedA
I make them hide and go away
       D MajorD
Overlooking what I see
           A augmentedA
In the past got the best of me
           E MajorE
Orange curtains and pale blue walls
           D MajorD    A augmentedA
If I can’t win I’m a lose it all

D MajorD  B minorBm   E MajorE

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

D MajorD B minorBm  E MajorE

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