Artist: Kathy Mattea Title: Walking Away a Winner CD: Lonesome Standard Time [Intro] C Em F G C Em F G [Verse]
C               Em       F                      C
Friends I could count on   I could count on one hand,

                F         G  F   G
with a leftover finger or two,

C              Em      F                   C
I took 'em for granted, let 'em all slip away,

F             G            C    F
Now where they are I wish I knew,
[Chorus]
G         C  Em         F     C
They roll by,  just like water

F    G              C      F   G
and I guess we never learn

           C   Em            F
Go through life, parched and empty

         C              F    G
standin' knee deep in a river

             C      Em   F   G
and dyin' of thirst
(verse 2)
C             Em    F                  C
Sometimes I remember, sweethearts I've known,

             F           G   F   G
Some I've forgotten I suppose,

C                Em    F                C
One or two still linger, oh and I wonder now,

F    G             C  F
why I ever let them go,
[Chorus]
G         C  Em         F     C
They roll by,  just like water,

F    G              C      F   G
and I guess we never learn,

           C   Em            F
Go through life, parched and empty,

         C              F    G
standin' knee deep in a river,

             C      Em   F   G   C   Em   F
and dyin' of thirst,
> up 1/2 step [Verse]
C#                Fm      F#            C#
So the sidewalk is crowded, the city goes by,

           F#              G#   F#   G#
and I rush through another day,

C#                  Fm       F#                 C#
and a world full of strangers, turn their eyes to me,

F#         G#             C#   F#
but I just look the other way,
[Chorus]
G#        C# Fm           F#    C#
They roll by    just like water,

F#    G#             C#   F#   G#
and I guess we never learn,

           C#  Fm            F#
Go through life,  parched and empty,

         C#             F#
standin' knee deep in a river,

G#           C#     F#
and dyin' of thirst,

G#        C# Fm           F#    C#
They roll by    just like water,

F#    G#             C#   F#   G#
and I guess we never learn,

           C#  Fm            F#
Go through life,  parched and empty,

         C#             F#
standin' knee deep in a river,

G#           C#     Fm    F#   G#   C#
and dyin' of thirst,
