If I Lost The Best Thing
Yaël Naïm
---CAPO ON 2nd FRET--- If I Lost The Best Thing by Yael Naim is performed in a traditional french folk style in 3/4 a sort of waltz with an alternating bass note followed by the upper notes played together in harmony. Example: The Intro is the A chord so you would play: e|--------------------------------------| B|-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2----2--2---| G|-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2----2--2---| D|-----2--2-----2--2-----2--2----2--2---| A|--0-----------------0-----------------| E|------------0----------------0--------| And so forth. Pretty much all the chords in the song are or can be played like this. Also I play E7 with an added high because it sounds better so * is optional / Intro: // If I lost the best thing I ever had Because of me I was selfish Stupid and blind How can it be That it’s all ending Now we can stop pretending It just faded so fast I think I lost you If you were the best thing I ever had To blind to see We were happy How can I find some peace in me Cause we’re both changing It’s not that we stopped caring It’s just time that has made me grow Apart from you Cause it’s over it’s all over it’s all over it’s over it’s over it’s all over it’s over now If we loose the best thing We ever had If we forget Just hold me here in your arms Like we just met We will be tender and say that we’ll be for ever And just hope it will last because I found you It’s not that we’ve stopped fighting It’s not that it’s not hard just to stand hand in hand And always love you Because I love you
