Sweet Defeat

Jon Allen / Jon Allen: Sweet Defeat (2011)

|: C Am F G7 :|
C Am F G7 C Am F G7
Well I was busy going nowhere, - Hanging out in no mans land.
C Am F G7 C Am F G7
When you showed me the silver, - There in bad lucks ugly hand.
 
F C Am G7
You’ve got the sweetest disposition, And a heart that’s open wide.
F C G7
I know that you’re the woman - Who’s gonna keep me satisfied.
C Am F G7 C Am F
Sweet defeat; I’m lying helpless at your feet.
G7 C Am F G7 C Am F G7
And so it’s goodbye to the street. I’m so pleased to meet you: sweet defeat!
 
C Am F G7 C Am F G7
Well I’d given up believing - That I’d ever end up here.
C Am F G7 C Am F G7
But now I’m happy on the high wire - With your voice ringing in my ears.
 
F C Am G7
I wanna call you up on Sundays - When I’ve nothing much to say.
F C G7
I want to hold on to you darling - Throw everything else I got away.
C Am F G7 C Am F
Sweet defeat; I’m lying helpless at your feet.
G7 C Am F G7 C Am F G7
And so it’s goodbye to the street. I’m so pleased to meet you: sweet defeat!

F C Am G7
You’re like the morning breeze a’ blowin’ - Right through this weary soul.
F C G7
You give me a feeling - From my head down to my toes.
C Am F G7 C Am F
Sweet defeat; I’m lying helpless at your feet.
G7 C Am F G7 C Am F G7
And so it’s goodbye to the street. I’m so pleased to meet you: sweet defeat!
