C               E7           Am              F
We were at the table by the window with the view
C         E7          Am                F
Casting shadows, the sun was pushing through
C               E7             Am
Spoke a lot of words, I don’t know if
              F
I spoke the truth

Am              F
Got so much to lose
Am               F
Got so much to prove
Am                F        C  E7
God don't let me lose, my mind

Chorus:
C              E                   Am
Trouble on my left, trouble on my right
                   F                    C
I've been facing trouble almost all my life
          E                      Am
My sweet love won't you put me through
              F                         C
Everywhere I look I catch a glimpse of you
               E                     Am
I said it was love and I did it for life
        F
did-did it for you

We will come to pass, will I pass the test?
You know what they say, yeah
The wicked get no rest
You can have my heart, any place, any time

Got so much to lose
Got so much to prove
God, don't let me lose my mind

Chorus - x2

Am              F
Got so much to lose
Am               F
Got so much to prove
Am                F        C  E Am F Fm C
God don't let me lose, my mind
