A minorAm

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

Chorus:
FF     G+G  E minorEm
Just as it was, baby
      A minorAm    C majorC  DmDm  FF
Before the otherness came
           G+G  E minorEm
And I knew its name
            E minorEm     DmDm
The love, the dark, the light, the flame

Verse 2:
A minorAm            G+G
Eyes at the heights of my baby
   C majorC            DmDm
Let's hope at the fight of my baby
   FF             A minorAm
The lights were as bright as my baby
FF          A minorAm  A minorAm
But your love was unmoved

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

Chorus:
FF     G+G  E minorEm
Just as it was, baby

Before the otherness came

The love, the dark, the light, the flame

Outro:
A minorAm            G+G
Eyes at the heights of my baby
   C majorC            DmDm
Let's hope at the fight of my baby
   FF             A minorAm
The lights were as bright as my baby
FF          A minorAm
But your love was unmoved
    A minorAm             G+G
And the sights were as stark as my baby
    C majorC            DmDm
And the cold cut as sharp as my baby
    FF             A minorAm
And the nights were as dark as my baby
FF         A minorAm
Half as beautiful too
