A5 I used to do it for the love a long time ago D5 And all I ever wanted was love A5 I used to love without fear a long time ago D5 And all I ever wanted was love B5 Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me E5 Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy B5 Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty E5 Truth was they never did deserve me D5 No! (chorus) D5 C#5 B5 I had to lose myself so I could love you better D5 C#5 I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could B5 love you better D5 C#5 Had to lose myself, had to lose myself B5 So I could love you better E5 Had to lose myself in love And that?s just the way it is? A5 Couldn?t tell me I was love when I needed it D5 When, all I ever wanted was love. A5 Should a told me just me because! I?m worth receiving it D5 But all I ever wanted was love B5 There?s is something awkward about the selflessness it takes to E5 Give love and the good that it makes you! B5 True love can never really forsake you E5 But it took a little while just for me to see! (repeat chorus) B5 I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure E5 And I couldn?t love you perfectly with fear in my head B5 So I peerlessly had to face the danger E5 D5 So I could come back and love you whole instead C#5 All of your soul I said! B5 So I could make it better (repeat chorus) ( B5 ) F#5 And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you B5 Couldn?t stay but I never meant to desert you F#5 Whole lot a things I just had to work thru B5 Time to heal and restore myself worth too F#5 Confrontation of my fears and anxiety B5 Cried a whole lot years I suffered quietly F#5 And though it may have taken years I can finally! B5 Tell you that you were always on my mind! (repeat chorus) (bridge 2x) A5 C#5 B5 Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did E5 A5 Great love to absorb all the misuse I did C#5 B5 Hey baby it?s not an excuse I give. E5 D5 And I?d do it all again because for you I live (chorus) C#5 B5 I had to lose myself so I could make it better D5 C#5 I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could B5 make it better D5 C#5 Had to lose myself, had to lose myself B5 So I could make it better E5 Had to lose myself in love And that was just the way! F#5 And that was just the way it is?
