Mary Chapin Carpenter - You win again

-----(capo 2nd fret)-----

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

(verse 1)
Am F G C - G/B
I'm standing here freezing in a phone booth, baby
Am G 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
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 G
To waste these words and twenty five cents on a losing game,
C G/B Am F G - C
Baby, you win again

(verse 2)
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

(chorus)
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 Dm7 G
At your altar or at your throne,
C F Dm7 G Am F G
You could show just a little feeling for who I am,
C G/B Am F G - C
Baby, you win again,

(lead - Am - F - G - C - G/B - Am - F - G - C) 4x's

(verse 3)
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

(chorus)
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 Dm7 G
At your altar or at your throne,
C F Dm7 G Am F G
You could show just a little feeling for who I am,
C G/B Am F G - C
Baby, you win again,

(Outro - Am - F - G - C - (ending with F)
