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
