  			Intro: Am 

Verse: 1 
Am 
There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved 
Am                                                    Am 
Never I'd have life enough, my heart is screamin' out 
Am 
And in a few days I would be there, love 
Am                                                  F 
Ever here that's left in me is yours just as it was 


F          G    Em 
Just as it was, baby 
           Am        C    Dm   F 
Before the otherness came 
                     G    Em 
And I knew its name 
                        Em         Dm 
The love, the dark, the light, the flame 

Verse: 2 
Am                        G 
Eyes at the heights of my baby 
      C                       Dm 
Let's hope at the fight of my baby 
      F                         Am 
The lights were as bright as my baby 
F                    Am    Am 
But your love was unmoved 

Bridge 
Am 
And tell me if somehow some of it remained 
Am 
How long you would wait for me? 
Am                       Am 
How long I've been away 
Am 
The shape that I'm in now, you're shaping the doorway 
Am 
Make your good love known to me 
Am                           F 
Just tell me about your day 


F          G    Em 
Just as it was, baby 
           Am        C    Dm   F 
Before the otherness came 
                     G    Em 
And I knew its name 
                        Em         Dm 
The love, the dark, the light, the flame 

Outro 
Am                        G 
Eyes at the heights of my baby 
      C                       Dm 
Let's hope at the fight of my baby 
      F                         Am 
The lights were as bright as my baby 
F                    Am 
But your love was unmoved 
        Am                         G 
And the sights were as stark as my baby 
        C                       Dm 
And the cold cut as sharp as my baby 
        F                         Am 
And the nights were as dark as my baby 
F                 Am 
Half as beautiful too
