Mary Chapin Carpenter You Win Again Lyrics

Title: You win again
Intro - Am - F - G - C - G/B - Am - F - G - C
(verse 1)
I'm standing here freezing in a phone booth, baby
In the middle of god knows where,
I've got one quarter left, your machine picks up,
But baby I know you're there,
And I just start crying 'cause it makes no sense,
To waste these words and twenty five cents on a losing game,
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)
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,
(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)
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,
(Outro - Am - F - G - C - (ending with F)
