    Sorry if this is the wrong forum, please move if not.

    Can any of you guys help me out with this song, it's confusing the crap out of me. This might be easy for some of you.

    I play the song in the key of D with the capo on the 4th fret so it sounds the same as the record. I'm stuck on three parts:

    1) In the first verse:
    A7
    D
    Anyone can lose it all
    Bm
    ??
    Anyone can lose it all
    D
    If you don't heed your warnings call
    A
    Anyone can lose it all

    I can't figure out chord what ?? is. G sounds close but on the record it doesn't sound like he has shifted from Bm at all.

    2) In the chorus:
    D
    Em
    When you got time and streets making saints & sinners
    ??
    Ink on sheets makin' losers and winners
    D
    A7
    Well it's not what your dreams should be
    Again for ??, G sounds like it should go here but the orchestral strings are playing a very dominant F# so G doesn't sound quite right. I'm not 100% sure what note the bass is playing. Anyone know what chord should go here?

    3) The bridge where bass guitar starts walking. Can anyone figure out the notes being played? I worked out this much so far but I can't get the next two bars:

    Intro: Cmaj7

    Verse 1
    G Em
    anyone can lose it all,anyone can lose it all,when you hear that mountain
    G Cmaj7
    call,oh anyone can lose it all
    G Em
    Anyone can be a saint,oh anyone can be a saint,in fact when you try
    G Cmaj7
    that mate,oh anyone can be a saint

    Chorus
    D Bm
    We got time to make for saints and sinners,she is making losers for
    G Em
    winners,but thats what your faith, will bring

    Bridge
    G Em
    you know i wish we had more time,you know i wish we had more time,
    G Cmaj7
    you know that it was a crime,a crime to let our hearts wait for it

    First off, the chorus is way off and secondly, check out the words! When you hear that mountain call? I dunno dude...

    HATE THE SONG..... dont know it either but from your explanation of the strings playing an f# and the fragle himself sounding like he hasn't changed... well maybe he is playing a Bm with a g bass note... as in Bm/G

    You need to fvck that capo in the bin also mate!
