Song:  When I Can Afford To Lose



C      Am7               Am    F                             G
2 years, 3 months, and 5 days, I've been trying to climb this wall,
C       Am7           Am       F                    G  
2 years, 3 months, and 5 days, Honey, please don't let me fall

F             G     F                    G
Understand my dear, When you come walking near,
          Am                   F                G
I want you back again, Cause I know that I can't win,
F                       G              F
It's not for me to choose, I'll take you back again,
    G                 C             Am7           Am
When I can afford to lose

C         Am7            Am     F                              G
I see your picture on my table, And your ghost is sleeping in my bed,
C         Am7           Am                                F               
And your good-bye still rattles, and rattles, And rattles around like 
                  G
thunder through my head

F                     G         F                         G
So I'll have one more cigarette And hope that soon I will forget
     Am                    F                  G
When you walked in Cause I know that I can't win,
F                   G                     F
It's not for me to choose, I'll take you back again, 
    G                   C    Am7     Am
When I can afford to lose.
              F             G                  C
I'll take you back again When I can afford to lose

F                 G               C                    Am7   
And don't leave me hanging on this borderline
Am                             F 
The things I could do, with a whisper from you
            G
Could just blow your mind

(harmonica solo)    C Am7 Am F G

F            G     F                      G
Understand my dear When you come walking near,
           Am                    F               G
I want you back again, Cause I know that I can't win,
F                     G                   F
It's not for me to choose, I'll take you back again,
     G                C        Am7         Am
When I can afford to lose

               F             G                    C  Am7  Am             
I'll take you back again When I can afford to lose.
               F              G                 C
I'll take you back again When I can afford to lose.
