Born To Lose chords by Jenny Owen Youngs

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:
Am

Verse:
           Am                Am
You've got two bad eyes, you got 'em from your parents
    Am               Dm              Am
And one bad leg, you got it from the war
Am                Am
Three mistakes in bottles on a shelf yes
Am                Dm     E         Am
You can't wait to go and make some more

Verse:
       Am                     Am
If you sneak out now, they'll never know you're missing
  Am                     Dm                Am
Before they're wise, you could be gone and back
Am                  Am
While they stand guffawing in the kitchen
       Am                  Dm        E        Am
You’re down the stair, and leave the screen unlatched
Dm         E      Am
Leave that door unlatched

Pre-Chorus:
F         C     E
Swallowed up in silence, holding all your breath now
F        C      E
Wait for that familiar pull

Chorus:
F                         C
Somewhere in the night, a man is standing by
       G                           Am G/B C E
With a deal you won't be able to refuse
F                             C
No, you can't call him, but expect your phone to ring
    G
And brother, you prepare yourself to
Dm            E                Am
Offer up what you were born to lose

Verse:
         Am                  Am
You move down the block, see curtains hung in tatters
    Am                Dm              Am
The windows lit - the house is still awake
    Am               Am
The girl upstairs is crying like it matters
Am               Dm       E    Am
Will she bend or will she only break
Dm       E       Am
Just one more mistake

Pre-Chorus:
F     C          E
In no time she's disappearing through your fingers
F      C      E
Slips away so make it last

Chorus:
F                         C
Somewhere in the night, a man is standing by
       G                           Am G/B C E
With a deal you won't be able to refuse
F                             C
No, you can't call him, but expect your phone to ring
    G
And brother, you prepare yourself to
Dm    E
Offer up

Bridge:
         F          Am
What you needed the most
            F          Am
Lord, he'll make you a ghost
       F            E     Am
If you do or if you don't

Verse:
           Am                Am
You've got two bad eyes, you got 'em from your parents
    Am               Dm              Am
And one bad leg, you got it from the war
Am                Am
Three mistakes in bottles on a shelf yes
Am                Dm     E         Am
You can't wait to go and make some more
   Dm     E         Am
So go and make some more

Chorus:
F                         C
Somewhere in the night, a man is standing by
       G                           Am G/B C E
With a deal you won't be able to refuse
F                             C
No, you can't call him, but expect your phone to ring
    G
And brother, you prepare yourself to
Dm    E
Offer up

Chorus:
F                         C
Somewhere in the night, a man is standing by
       G                           Am G/B C E
With a deal you won't be able to refuse
F                             C
No, you can't call him, but expect your phone to ring
    G
And brother, you prepare yourself to
Dm            E                Am
