Lose Myself(Chords)

	        A          D 
I used to do it for the love a long time ago 
And all I ever wanted was love 
I used to love without fear a long time ago 
And all I ever wanted was love 

Bm          E 
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me 
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy 
Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty 
Truth was they never did deserve me 
No! 
 
D          C#m          Bm 
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
 

E 
Had to lose myself in love 
And that?s just the way it is? 

A          D 
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 

Bm          E 
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! 

D          C#m          Bm 
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
 

E 
Had to lose myself in love 
And that?s just the way it is? 

Bm          E 
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 
D          C#m          Bm 

All of your soul I said! 
So I could make it better 

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
 

E 
Had to lose myself in love 
And that?s just the way it is? 

F#m          Bm 
And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you 
Couldn?t stay but I never meant to desert you 
Whole lot a things I just had to work thru 
Time to heal and restore myself worth too 
Confrontation of my fears and anxiety 
Cried a whole lot years I suffered quietly 
And though it may have taken years I can finally! 
Tell you that you were always on my mind! 

D          C#m          Bm 
I had to lose myself so I could make it better 
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could 
make it better 
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
So I could make it better 


E 
Had to lose myself in love 
And that was just the way! 

(ponte) 
A          C#m          Bm          E 
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did 
Great love to absorb all the misuse I did 
Hey baby it?s not an excuse I give. 
And I?d do it all again because for you I live 

Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did 
Great love to absorb all the abuse I did 
Hey baby it?s not an excuse I give. 
And I?d do it all again because for you I live 
 
D          C#m          Bm 
I had to lose myself so I could make it better 
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could 
make it better 
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
So I could make it better 
Had to lose myself in love
 

E 
And that was just the way! 
And that was just the way it is?
