DmI wish I could say you lost me.
I wish I could say it's sA7o.
I wish everyday you lost me.
But you gAave me up C#long aDmgo.
DmRemember the time we went dancing -
you sat there 'til one forty-fA7ive
and left me to ride away begging
and gAasping for C#air to surDmvive.
GmBut now that I'm arguably oDmlder
and Gmthough it is winter once mDmore,
GmI'd jump if you dialed my nDmumber,
forgetting my heart on the flA7oor.
And it's beGmtter, bC#etter, betA7ter, to be the breaDmker.
GmA city of too many wDmomen
Gmgrabbing for pieces of mDmen,
Gmcherishing every begDminning,
and falling apart in the eA7nd.
It's beGmtter, bC#etter, beA7tter, to be the brDmeaker.

I wish I could say you lost me.

I wish I could say it's so.

I wish everyday you lost me.

A C# Dm

But you gave me up long ago.

Remember the time we went dancing -

you sat there 'til one forty-five

and left me to ride away begging

A C# Dm

and gasping for air to survive.

Gm Dm

But now that I'm arguably older

Gm Dm

and though it is winter once more,

Gm Dm

I'd jump if you dialed my number,

forgetting my heart on the floor.

Gm C# A7 Dm

And it's better, better, better, to be the breaker.

Gm Dm

A city of too many women

Gm Dm

grabbing for pieces of men,

Gm Dm

cherishing every beginning,

and falling apart in the end.

Gm C# A7 Dm

It's better, better, better, to be the breaker.
