YOU WIN AGAIN (Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------

[Actually in D; capo 2.]
[Each chord is half a measure, except two chords joined by a hyphen are
 a half-measure _total_.]

Am    F    G    C - G/B     Am    F    G    C
[intro]
Am    F    G    C - G/B     Am    F    G    C
[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
[guitar solo]
Am    F    G    C - G/B     Am    F    G    C
[guitar solo]
Am    F    G    C - G/B     Am    F    G    C
[guitar solo]
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
[guitar solo]
Am  F  G  C    Am  F  G  C    Am  F  G  C    Am  F  G  Fmaj9.
[guitar solo]

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.
