A Amaj7 A7 Amaj7 A (2x)
 
Verse:
           A                             Amaj7
Lose your keys under the house, lose the button from your blouse,
          A7                               D
Lose the plastic diamond ring from the parade
          Dm                              A
Lose the color in your lips, lose the swingin’ in your hips,
           F          C     E               A
But if you lose me in your grips I must be saved.
 
           A                            Amaj7
Lose the harmonies we learned, lose the taste of bread you earned,
          A7                              D
Lose the stash you always kept but never craved
           Dm                                 A
Lose your rhythm, lose your lines, lose your sense of passing time,
            F       Am/E     Dm             A
But if you lose me in your mind I must be saved.
C#m                   F#m           C#m                     A
And if you find your conscience plagued by some misplaced or righteous rage
     G              D      F#m      F       Am/E  Dm
Then lose yourself instead till you remember to forget.
 
           A                              Amaj7
Lose your passion and your hope, lose the knotting in your rope,
          A7                               D
Lose your armor in the struggles that you brave
          Dm                                A
Lose the children that you bore, lose the battle, lose the war,
           F               C  E            A
But if you lose me in your core I must be saved.
 
           A                           Amaj7
Lose your reverence for winners, your patience with forgiveness,
          A7                        D
You don’t have to be a master or a slave
           Dm                               A
Lose your senses, lose your mind, lose your faith in human kind,
            F     Am/E     Dm               A
But if you lose me down the line I must be saved.
 
          C#m                    F#m              C#m                   A
And if you find your conscience plagued by some misplaced or righteous rage
     G              D     F#m       F       Am/E   Dm
Then lose yourself instead till you remember to forget.
           A                           Amaj7
Lose perfection for a start, lose the dream you kept apart,
          A7                           D
Lose the chance to find another who’d behave,
               Dm                       A
And then if you haven’t yet, lose your loser’s last regret
            F               C  E            A
For if you lose me in your net I must be saved.
 
           A                           Amaj7
Lose the vows we never spoke, lose the punch-line to the joke,
          A7                            D
Lose your innocence as if willingly you gave
         Dm                           A
Lose the kettle and the pot, you can lose the best you’ve got
           F        Am/E    Dm             A
But if you lose me in your heart I must be saved.
