For tuning above, G#m B and C#m are played with the thumb on the E string. NOTE: this version of the chord

Intro:
E C#m G#m D#m G#m
[Verse 1]
E C#m Wait, when am I gonna lose you? G#m How will I let you slip through? D#m G#m Careless or unkind? E C#m Trace the curving on the coastline G#m The Santa Lucia cliffside D#m B We'll stay here for the night
[Pre-Chorus 1]
E I remember you said B Everything has its place E Now I lie in our bed B Wondering how to explain
[Chorus]
E You G#m B C#m When am I gonna lose you? G#m B E When am I gonna lose you? G#m B C#m When am I gonna lose you? G#m D#m When am I gonna lose
[Verse 2]
E
E C#m Take another one if you need it G#m Or do you already feel it? D#m G#m I felt it from the start E C#m A gray silhouette of you dancing G#m A shadow play that we're cast in D#m B On the cabin walls
[Pre-Chorus 2]
E You were floating to me B In a slow motion fade E Could I finally see B Between belief and faith?
[Chorus]
E You G#m B C#m When am I gonna lose you? G#m B E When am I gonna lose you? G#m B C#m When am I gonna lose you? G#m D#m When am I gonna lose
[Bridge]
E B E B
E I remember you closing the shutters B And laying down by my side E And the light that was still slipping through B It was painting your body in stripes E I remember the trees tumbling down B Like an archangel choir E And the ocean was all we could see B And I knew that I wanted you E I remember you closing the shutters G#m B And laying down by my side C#m And the light that was still slipping through G#m B It was painting your body in stripes E I remember the trees tumbling down G#m B Like an archangel choir C#m And the ocean was all we could see G#m D#m And I knew that I wanted you
[Chorus]
E
G#m B C#m When am I gonna lose G#m B E When am I gonna lose you G#m B C#m When am I gonna lose you, you G#m D#m When am I gonna lose
