---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 D because it sounds better, so E7 * is optional E7/D
Intro: A //
A E7 *
If I lost the best thing
F#m E7 *
I ever had
D7
Because of me
A E7 *
I was selfish
E7 F#m E7 *
Stupid, and blind
D7
How can it be
A D Dm
That it's all ending
A D Dm
Now we can stop pretending
F#m A E7 D
It just faded so fast I think
A
I lost you
A E7 *
If you were the best thing
F#m E7 *
I ever had
D7
To blind to see
A E7 *
We were happy,
F#m E7 * D7 A
How can I find some peace in me
A D Dm
Cause we're both changing
A D Dm
It's not that we stopped caring
F#m A E7 * D
It's just time that has made me grow
A
Apart from you
E7 * A
Cause it's over, it's all over,
D A
it's all over, it's over
E7 * A
it's over, it's all over,
Dm A
it's over now
A E7 *
If we loose the best thing
F#m E7 *
We ever had
D7
If we forget
A E7 * F#m E7 *
Just hold me here in your arms
D7
Like we just met
A D Dm
We will be tender
A D Dm
and say that we'll be for ever
F#m A E7 * D
And just hope it will last because
A
I found you
A D Dm
It's not that we've stopped fighting
A D Dm F#m A E7 * D
It's not that it's not hard just to stand hand in hand
A
And always love you
D A
Because I love you
