Written by Joey Dosik, from the Game Winner EP, released 2016.
This version is as close to the recording as I could get it. Below are
the voicings I used for some of the chords that I didn't think were obvious:
C7b9 - X3232X
Bbmaj7 - 6X776X
Ebsus4 - X6889X
[Intro]
Bb A/F Gm x2
[Verse 1]
Bb A/F Gm
Couldn't possibly blame me
F C/E Dm7
More than I blame myself
Dbmaj7 Cm7 Bbm7
I always thought I would shoot us out
F C/E Dm7
Of any mess we got in
Bb A/F Gm
And I should have kept my mouth shut
F C/E Dm7
I could have been the grown-up
Dbmaj7 Cm7 Bbm7
Surprised to see you had cut your hair
Bb A/F Gm C7b9 F
And then I really lost all of my composure out there
[Chorus]
F Fmaj7
'Cause my competitive streak runs deep
Bb A/F G7 C7b9 F
32, 33, baby, Magic and Kareem
F Fmaj7
I shouldn't have made a scene
Bb A/F G7 C7b9
But it's not easy seeing you playing for another team
Bb A/F Gm
No no no
[Verse 2]
Bb A/F Gm
When I was winnin' without you I could leave you alone
F C/E Dm7
Wouldn't rub it in your face
Dbmaj7 Cm7 Bbm7
Now that I'm down when I see you around
F C/E Dm7
Thinkin' how I can get you back (How can I get ya back?)
Bb A/F Gm
Thinkin' maybe my best days are behind me
F C/E Dm7
Maybe winning and losing blinds me
Dbmaj7 Cm7 Bbm7
A Monday morning quarterback
F C/E Dm7 C7b9
Said how'd you lose the only thing you had left?
[Chorus]
F Fmaj7
'Cause my competitive streak runs deep
Bb A/F G7 C7b9 F
32, 33, baby, Magic and Kareem
F Fmaj7
I shouldn't have made a scene
Bb A/F G7 C7b9 F
But it's not easy seeing you playing for another team no no no
(Chromatic bass climb from E to B)
Bb A/F Gm C7b9 F
And what's the point of winning for myself if I have to lose to you?
Dbmaj7 Cm7 Bm7
(No no no no no no no)
F C/E Dm7
[Bridge]
Bbmaj7 Ebsus4
I still replay certain games in my head
Bbmaj7 Ebsus4
I can remember every play
Bbmaj7 Ebsus4
The time when we won it all
Bbmaj7 Ebsus4 E F
And when we gave it all away
[Chorus]
F Fmaj7
'Cause my competitive streak runs deep
Bb A/F G7 C7b9 F
F Fmaj7
See my competitive streak runs deep
Bb A/F Gm C7b9 F
But what's the point of winning for myself if I have to lose to you? See my competitive streak...
Bb A/F Gm C7b9 F
Baby, what's the point of winning for myself if I have to lose to you?
(Chromatic bass climb from E to B)
Bb A/F Gm C7b9 F
And what's the point of winning for myself if I have to lose to you?
(Chromatic bass climb from E to B)
Bb A/F Gm C7b9 F
What's the point of winning for myself if I have to lose to you?
