I lost me, and you lost you.

An old true friend of ours was [A] talking on the phone, _ she said [D] she found someone.
_ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [D] _ And I thought of all [E] the bad luck, and the struggles [A] we went through,
[D] and how I lost me, _ and you lost you.
_ What [A] are these voices _ outside love's open door?
Make us [G] throw off our contempt _ [A] and beg for something [A] _ more.

They're [G] the only things we kill, I guess. _
[A] Our pride and competition cannot fill these empty arms, [G] and the work I put between us,
[A] you know it doesn't keep me warm. _
[D] _ _ _ I'm ready to [Em] live _ without you [D] _ now, _ _ [G] but I miss you baby. _ _ _
