CAPO 1st
 
[Intro]
 
Bm  A  E  G A
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Bm                       A
I don't know what you're looking for
E                          G          A
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
Bm                           A
You rip me up and spread me all around
E                  G        A
in the dust of the deed of time.
 
Bm  A  E  G A
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Bm                         A
And this is not a case of lust, you see
E                    G             A
it's not a matter of you versus me
Bm                            A
It's fine the way you want me on your own
E                   G           A
but in the end it's always me alone.
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
         Bm        G        A    F#5  A
And I'm losing my favourite game
        Bm         G      A   F#5  A
you're losing your mind again
     Bm        G
I'm losing my baby
E          A         F#
losing my favourite game.
 
Bm  A  E  G A
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
Bm                         A
I only know what I've been working for
E                       G       A
another you so I could love you more
Bm                             A
I really thought that I could take you there
E                     G              A
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere.
 
Bm  A  E  G A
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
Bm                      A
I had a vision I could turn you right
E                       G      A
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
Bm                            A
I should have seen it when my hope was new
E                        G       A
my heart is black and my body is blue.
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
        Bm         G         A   F#5  A
And I'm losing my favourite game
        Bm         G     A    F#5  A
you're losing your mind again
     Bm        G         A   F#5  A
I'm losing my favourite game
       Bm           G    A    F#5  A
You're losing your mind again
     Bm        G     E         A         F#
I'm losing my baby, losing my favourite game.
 
Bm  A  E  G A

I'm losing my favourite game
       Bm          G      A   F#5  A
You're losing your mind again
      Bm               G         A   F#5  A
I've tried but you're still the same
    Bm        G
I'm losing my baby
        E       A              F#
You're losing a saviour and a saint.
