Repeat Strum pattern for verses

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
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!

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
Had to lose myself in love
And that’s just the way it is…

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
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
Had to lose myself in love
And that’s just the way it is…

[B]-Sec:
[F#m]And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you
[Bm]Couldn’t stay but I never meant to desert you
[C#m]Whole lot a things I just had to work thru
[Bm]Time to heal and restore myself worth too
[F#m]Confrontation of my fears and anxiety
[Bm]Cried a whole lot years I suffered quietly
[C#m]And though it may have taken years I can finally!
[F#m]Tell you that you were always on my mind[A]!

[A]I had to lose my[D]self so [C#m]I could make it bett[Bm]er
[A]I had to lose myself, ha[D]d to lose myself so I[C#m] could make it bett[Bm]er
[A]Had to lose myself, had [D]to lose myself
[C#m]So I could make it bette[Bm]r
[A]Had to lose myself in lo[D]ve
[C#m]And that was just the wa[Bm]y!

(Use Adam Lives In Theory Strum)
[A]Takes strength to absorb[D] all the abuse I did
[C#m]Great love to absorb all the mis[Bm]use I did
[A]Hey baby it’s not an excuse I gi[D]ve.
[C#m]And I’d do it all again because for you [Bm]I live
