Capo 2

[Intro]

G Em

C Am D

[Chorus]

G Em

Yesterday my time was torn

C Am D

Someone told me I was born to lose.

G Em

And in the darkness it appeared

C Am D

to last almost a thousand years as true.

[Verse]

G Em

So in the morning drunk with light

C Am D

I turn my weary one armside to you.

G Em

But little kids and grown up men

C Am D

They’re gonna change and not know how or when or who.

G Em

But babe I thought it would leave me more

C Am D

To stand aside and unlock the door for you.

G Em

But now it's if you can means if you will,

C Am D

and if you will means if you’re still for two.

G Em

Loneliness unlocks each gate

C Am D

Patience whispers you’re too late it’s through.

G Em

And if I was there to keep the score,

C Am D

I’d just be there to feel the sore abuse.

[Chorus]

G Em

Oh yesterday my time was torn

C Am D

Someone told me I was born to lose.

G Em

And in the darkness it appeared

C Am D

to last almost a thousand years as true.
