Lose Myself (surf's Up)

	  		A 
I used to do it for the love a long time ago 
D 
And all I ever wanted was love 
A 
I used to love without fear a long time ago 
D 
And all I ever wanted was love 
Bm 
Then somebody came around and tried to hurt me 
E 
Tried to make me feel like I was unworthy 
Bm 
Took a pure love and tried to make it dirty 
E 
Truth was they never did deserve me 
D 
No! 
 
D                C#m               Bm 
I had to lose myself so I could love you better 
                  D                  C#m 
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could 
      Bm 
love you better 
               D                   C#m 
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
                  Bm 
So I could love you better 
                      E 
Had to lose myself in love 
And that’s just the way it is…
 
A 
Couldn’t tell me I was love when I needed it 
       D 
When, all I ever wanted was love. 
A 
Should a told me just me because! 
I’m worth receiving it 
    D 
But all I ever wanted was love 
Bm 
There’s is something awkward about the selflessness it 
takes to 
E 
Give love and the good that it makes you! 
Bm 
True love can never really forsake you 
E 
But it took a little while just for me to see! 

(repeat Chorus) 

Bm 
I had a paralyzing fear of facing failure 
E 
And I couldn’t love you perfectly with fear in my head 
Bm 
So I peerlessly had to face the danger 
E                                           D 
So I could come back and love you whole instead 
                  C#m 
All of your soul I said! 
                   Bm 
So I could make it better 

(repeat Chorus) 

( B ) 

F#m 
And so it goes that I never meant to hurt you 
Bm 
Couldn’t stay but I never meant to desert you 
F#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 
F#m 
And though it may have taken years I can finally! 
Bm 
Tell you that you were always on my mind! 

(repeat Chorus) 

(bridge 2x) 
A                     C#m                   Bm 
Takes strength to absorb all the abuse I did 
                  E                     A 
Great love to absorb all the misuse I did 
        C#m                     Bm 
Hey baby it’s not an excuse I give. 
                     E                        D 
And I’d do it all again because for you I live 

           C#m                           Bm 
I had to lose myself so I could make it better 
                 D                   C#m 
I had to lose myself, had to lose myself so I could 
     Bm 
make it better 
               D                  C#m 
Had to lose myself, had to lose myself 
                Bm 
So I could make it better 
                       E 
Had to lose myself in love 
And that was just the way! 
                                F#m 
And that was just the way it is…
