Bryan Adams - Sometimes You Lose Before You Win

(from “Office Race” soundtrack)

[Intro]
G G

[Verse 1]
G
If you try to run, before you crawl
G
As sure as hell, you’re gonna fall
Am D
So take your time, to breathe again
Em D/F#
Just let it out, and let it in…
G
Your life can be, a merry go
G
Around and round, and before you know
Am D
You’re back to where you start again
Em D/F#
So let it out, and let it in…

[Chorus]
G C Am D
You’re gonna fall with the grace of a cannonball
G C Am D
You’re gonna rise like a tide above it all
G C D Em
You gotta play, play your hand, or die where you stand
C D Em
Sometimes you fail before you begin
C D G D C
Sometimes you lose before you win

[Verse 2]
G
You gotta try to live your life
G
A quarter mile at a time
Am D
Hear the starting gun and you begin
Em D/F#
To let it out, and let it in…

[Chorus]
G C Am D
You’re gonna run like the river runs deep
G C Am D
You’re gonna blow like the wind, wind of change
Em C D Em
You gotta find, find the spark, that lights up the dark
C D Em
Sometimes you fail before you begin
C D G
Sometimes you lose before you win

[Solo]
G C Am D

You gotta play, play your hand, or die where you stand
C D Em
Sometimes you fail before you begin
C D G
Sometimes you lose before you win

[Chorus]
G C Am D
You’re gonna run like the river runs deep
G C Am D
You’re gonna blow like the wind, wind of change
Em C D Em
You gotta find, find the spark, that lights up the dark
C D Em
Sometimes you fail before you begin
C D G
Sometimes you lose before you win
C D G
Sometimes you lose before you win
