YOU WIN AGAIN (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)

[Actually in D; capo 2.]

[intro]

Am F G C - G/B

I'm standing here freezing in a phone booth, baby

Am G F F

In the middle of god-knows-where

Am F G C - G/B

I've got one quarter left, your machine picks up

Am G F F

But baby I know you're there

Dm7 Dm7 C/G G

And I just start crying 'cause it makes no sense

Dm7 Dm7 C/G G Am F

To waste these words and twenty-five cents on a losing game

G C - G/B Am F G C

Ba - by, you win again

I've been turning it over and over again

Like a stone I'm waiting to wish on

I've been holding my breath, just wondering when

You'll make some sort of decision

To let me in or to let me go

I always lose if I never know where I fit in

Baby, you win again

Bb Bb Dm7 G

I can't be right if I'm always wrong

C F Am Gsus - G

I can't stand up if I'm always kneeling

Bb Bb Dm7 G

At your altar or at your throne

C F Dm7 G Am F

You could show just a little feeling for who I am

G C - G/B Am F G C

Ba - by, you win again

Am F G C - G/B Am F G C

Am F G C - G/B Am F G C

[guitar solo]

Last night I dreamed we were standing here

On the corner of Love and Heartache

You jumped into your car, you found first gear

And baby, I felt the earth shake

And I woke up trembling with my heart in my throat

'Cause there's never a look, a word, or a note at the bitter end

Baby, you win again

I can't be right if I'm always wrong

I can't stand up if I'm always kneeling

At your altar or at your throne

You could show just a little feeling for who I am

Baby, you win again

Am F G C Am F G C Am F G C Am F G C

INTRO TAB:

Actually, this is played on an electric guitar with no capo (key of D),

but I've written it here in C with a capo at the 2nd fret.
