Born To Lose by Jenny Owen Youngs
Born To Lose
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
Am
[Verse]
Am Am
You've got two bad eyes, you got 'em from your parents
Am Dm Am
And one bad leg, you got it from the war
Am Am
Three mistakes in bottles on a shelf yes
Am Dm E Am
You can't wait to go and make some more
[Verse]
Am Am
If you sneak out now, they'll never know you're missing
Am Dm Am
Before they're wise, you could be gone and back
Am Am
While they stand guffawing in the kitchen
Am Dm E Am
You’re down the stair, and leave the screen unlatched
Dm E Am
Leave that door unlatched
[Pre-Chorus]
F C E
Swallowed up in silence, holding all your breath now
F C E
Wait for that familiar pull
[Chorus]
F C
Somewhere in the night, a man is standing by
G Am G/B C E
With a deal you won't be able to refuse
F C
No, you can't call him, but expect your phone to ring
G
And brother, you prepare yourself to
Dm E Am
Offer up what you were born to lose
[Verse]
Am Am
You move down the block, see curtains hung in tatters
Am Dm Am
The windows lit - the house is still awake
Am Am
The girl upstairs is crying like it matters
Am Dm E Am
Will she bend or will she only break
Dm E Am
Just one more mistake
[Pre-Chorus]
F C E
In no time she's disappearing through your fingers
F C E
Slips away so make it last
[Chorus]
F C
Somewhere in the night, a man is standing by
G Am G/B C E
With a deal you won't be able to refuse
F C
No, you can't call him, but expect your phone to ring
G
And brother, you prepare yourself to
Dm E
Offer up
[Bridge]
F Am
What you needed the most
F Am
Lord, he'll make you a ghost
F E Am
If you do or if you don't
[Verse]
Am Am
You've got two bad eyes, you got 'em from your parents
Am Dm Am
And one bad leg, you got it from the war
Am Am
Three mistakes in bottles on a shelf yes
Am Dm E Am
You can't wait to go and make some more
Dm E Am
So go and make some more
[Chorus]
F C
Somewhere in the night, a man is standing by
G Am G/B C E
With a deal you won't be able to refuse
F C
No, you can't call him, but expect your phone to ring
G
And brother, you prepare yourself to
Dm E
Offer up
[Chorus]
F C
Somewhere in the night, a man is standing by
G Am G/B C E
With a deal you won't be able to refuse
F C
No, you can't call him, but expect your phone to ring
G
And brother, you prepare yourself to
Dm E Am
Offer up what you were born to lose
