I Must Have Lost It On The Wind
Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album The Captain And The Kid
Intro: (delay the D bass note and invert chord down on second phrase)
(Am/G-G-Am-G/D Am/G-G-Am-G/D D G-D) 2x
G C G D
I'm no longer counting, I'm not keeping score
A/C# Bm7 G A
I could say my list of lovers doesn't matter anymore
Bm
But some are always in my heart
C G/B
And some I'm not so sure
A D
Either way they all left their mark
G A D-A
And for some I found a cure
chorus:
Bm A
And from one you learn something
G D
And another you learn, nothing
Bm G D G-D
And there's one who might teach you everything
Bm A
But before I learned to listen
G D
And if indeed someone said it
G A D G-D
Then I guess I must have lost it on the wind
(Am/G G Am G/D Am/G G Am G/D D G-D) 2x
G C G D
Back when I was younger each one was a prize
A/C# Bm7 G A
Love just came along and hit you right between the eyes
Bm
And one was just a trophy catch
C G/B
And one was like a curse
A D
Some would want to bleed you dry
G A
Some might quench your thirst
[repeat chorus] 2x with instr. break between
Bm A G D
In cold water I went fishing in warm seas I cast a line
Bm G D G-D
And swore the heart I was reeling in was perfect at the time
Bm A G D
You couldn't tell me I was wrong, you couldn't tell me anything
G A D G-D
And if you did then I guess I must have lost it on the wind
