G C D G
I don't know how to keep a good thing
C D G
I've lost it all before
G C D G
Had a sweet girl back awhile
C D
I walked right through her door
D G C G
Out of town, out of state
C
Out of all she could see through
Em D C G
Don't think I'll ever find love again
Em D G
But I know how to lose you
G C D G
Down the hall, she turns off the lights
C D G
I left before the dawn
G C D G
No word said, not one tear shed
C D
But for a while you're gone
D G C G
Then I'm neatly dressed, in my emptiness
C
Out on the bright avenue
Em D C G
Don't think I'll ever find love again
Em D G
But I know how to lose you
B7 Em
You know the story, still I hope for myself
C G D
Like a man who plays the lottery expecting great wealth
B7 Em C
No regard for his mental state, his emotions or his health
C D
Like this was all happening to some other version of himself
G C D G
People see me on the street
C D G
They don't recall your name
G C D G
It's like they've never seen us before
C D
How well I hide the pain
D G C G
And tip my hat, and crack a grin
C
And remark on a sky so blue
Em D C G
Don't think I'll ever find love again
Em D G
But I know how to lose you
Em D C G
Don't think I'll ever find love again
Em D G
But I know how to lose you
