Chords To �Lose Myself�
The chords are the same as the ones to �Adam Lives In Theory�
With two differences:
(1) This song is not played with Ms. Hill�s trademark
Thumb up, down strum. But played like a 60�s surfer song with a pick and quick up and down.
(2) Only play the barre chords on the chorus�.
Intro: A D C#m Bm (3x)
A D
I used to do it for the love a long time ago
C#m Bm A
And all I ever wanted was love
A D
I used to love without fear a long time ago
C#m Bm A
And all I ever wanted was love
A D
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me
C#m Bm
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy
A D
Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty
C#m Bm
Truth was they never did deserve me
A (Switch to 1st position)
No!
Chorus:
A D C#m Bm
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
A D C#m Bm
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better
A D D
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself
C#m Bm
So I could love you better
A D
Had to lose myself in love
C#m Bm
And that�s just the way it is�
Repeat Strum pattern for verses
Couldn�t tell me I was love when I needed it
When, all I ever wanted was love.
Should a told me just me because!
I�m worth receiving it
But all I ever wanted was love
There�s is something awkward about the selflessness it takes to
Give love and the good that it makes you!
True love can never really forsake you
But it took a little while just for me to see!
Chorus:
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself
So I could love you better
Had to lose myself in love
And that�s just the way it is�
I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure
And I couldn�t love you perfectly with fear in my head
So I peerlessly had to face the danger
So I could come back and love you whole instead
All of your soul I said!
So I could make it better
Chorus:
I had to lose myself so I could love you better
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could love you better
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself
So I could love you better
Had to lose myself in love
And that�s just the way it is�
B-Sec:
F#m
And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
Bm
Couldn�t stay but I never meant to desert you
C#m
Whole lot a things I just had to work thru
Bm
Time to heal and restore myself worth too
F#m
Confrontation of my fears and anxiety
Bm
Cried a whole lot years I suffered quietly
C#m
And though it may have taken years I can finally!
F#m A
Tell you that you were always on my mind!
Chorus:
A D C#m Bm
I had to lose myself so I could make it better
A D C#m Bm
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could make it better
A D
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself
C#m Bm
So I could make it better
A D
Had to lose myself in love
C#m Bm
And that was just the way!
