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)
AI useDd to do it for the love a long time ago
And all C#mI eveBmr wanted wasA love
AI useDd to love without fear a long time ago
And allC#m I ever waBmnted was lovAe
AThen somebodDy came around and tried to hurt me
C#mTried to maBmke me feel like I was unworthy
ATook a Dpure love and tried to make it dirty
C#mTruth was tBmhey never did deserve me
A (Switch to 1st position)
No!
Chorus:
AI hadD to loseC#m myself so BmI could love you better
AI had tDo lose mC#myself, had to lose Bmmyself so I could love you better
AHad tDo lDose myself, had to lose myself
C#mSo I coulBmd love you better
AHad to Dlose myself in love
C#mAnd that'Bms 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#mAnd so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
BmCouldn't stay but I never meant to desert you
C#mWhole lot a things I just had to work thru
BmTime to heal and restore myself worth too
F#mConfrontation of my fears and anxiety
BmCried a whole lot years I suffered quietly
C#mAnd though it may have taken years I can finally!
F#mTell you thatA you were always on my mind!
Chorus:
AI hadD toC#m lose myselBmf so I could make it better
AI had tDo lose mysC#melf, had tBmo lose myself so I could make it better
AHad to Dlose myself, had to lose myself
C#mSo I coulBmd make it better
AHad to Dlose myself in love
C#mAnd that Bmwas just the way!
