Intro: D, G, D, G x2 

verse 1: 
D                   G 
You thought I was a loner, 
       D              G 
Till I went out on my own, 
          D              G 
She said, slow down stranger, 
          D            G 
There are two kinds of good. 

Pre-Chorus 
                    Em 
But I always had to win, 
            G 
Or I wasn?t anything, 
                        D 
I guess it's a point of view. 

D, G, D, G 

verse 2 
D        G                   D             G 
Born in December but there's nothing but a cold, 
        D                   G 
Gave me something more than anger, 
      D          G 
In my heart, to hold. 

Pre-Chorus 
                   Em 
Oh I always had to win, 
            G 
Or I wasn't anything, 
                         D 
I guess it's a point of view. 

D, G, Bm, G x2 

 
      D         Bm      G   A 
And I know it's hard to be alone 
          D               Bm          G         A 
Count the days, count the nights, but don't get by, 
         D         Bm       G   A 
'cause I know it's hard to be alone 
          D               Bm          G         A 
Count the days, count the nights, but don't get by.

verse 3 
D              G                  D               G 
Safety came in numbers, but all I needed was just one, 
         D          G 
You're a four leaf clover, 
           D            G 
You're the only kind of one. 

Pre-Chorus 
                    Em 
But I always had to win, 
            G 
Or I wasn't anything, 
                        D 
I guess it's a point of view. 

D, G, Bm, G x2

'cause I know it's hard to be alone
