[Verse]
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
[Verse]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Verse]
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
