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'.

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

BmCried (x24432@1)a whole lot years I suffered quietly
