verse 1 
Am            F                                  C 
   Baby I was not the one, I guess you know that now 
      Dm                 G           C 
But I kept you real distracted for a while 
Am                 F                           C 
   I look back and nothing much, ever comes to mind 
Dm              G              C        C7 
Sometimes I can picture half a smile 

BRIDGE 
           F 
We were as thick as thieves, 
             F 
Hung on each others sleeves, 
                  G           G\F 
Kissing all the time. 

Chorus 
    C         Cmaj7                    Am 
But if I ever loved you shouldn't I be crying? 
               Dm                                G 
Shouldn't I be cracking up, and drinking all the time? 
C         Em                   Am 
If I ever loved you how come I feel alright? 
             Dm                          F                G 
How come the nights are so easy, and the mornings look so bright? 

verse 2 
Am                 F                                 C 
   I try to figure what has gone, I seem to look the same. 
Dm                G                 C       C7 
Maybe there's a tightness around my eyes 

BRIDGE 
              F 
Sometimes the evening comes, 
          F 
I think I miss someone 
               G         G\F 
But then I realise 

Chorus 
    C         Cmaj7                    Am 
But if I ever loved you shouldn't I be crying? 
               Dm                                G 
Shouldn't I be cracking up, and drinking all the time? 
C         Em                   Am 
If I ever loved you how come I feel alright? 
             Dm                          F                G 
How come the nights are so easy, and the mornings look so bright? 

MID 8 
A9\C#                  C                D             Em    Em6 
       And love it can make your world,    bring you alive 
             C                              D            C        C 
But I wasn't dead before, so baby you ain't hard to survive 

verse 3 
Am             F                         C 
   Maybe I was not the one, but I had to try. 
    Dm                 G                 C             C7 
And in the end there's no such thing as,   as wasted time 

MID 8 
          F 
I was the interim 
               F 
between nothingness and him 
                   G          G\F 
So how is that a crime 

Chorus 
    C         Cmaj7                    Am 
But if I ever loved you shouldn't I be crying? 
               Dm                                G 
Shouldn't I be cracking up, and drinking all the time? 
C         Em                   Am 
If I ever loved you how come I feel alright? 
             Dm                          F                G        C 
How come the nights are so easy, and the mornings look so bright?
