Oh I have been an idiot

missing some key ingredient
    D       A6   Db6    D
and waiting as I fail to rise

never guessing what it meant

CHORUS:
D         E6      A6
Oh I have been an idiot
D            E6     Abm
missing some key ingredient
    D       A6   Db6    D
and waiting as I fail to rise
D       A6     Db6     D
never asking what it meant


VERSE:
A6           D      Ebdim     D
I barely cared, and rarely tried
     A6           D         Ebdim   D
to find some reason I should fight
       D        A6         Db6    D
but in my hand and at my side
      D        A6         Db6      D
you, my heart, my arm did guide


VERSE:
     A6      D            Ebdim     D
For I had been your long lost twin
A6       D      Ebdim     D
closer than a second skin
        D     A6    Db6      D
and now I am alone again
       D     A6    Db6      D
wiser than I’ve never been


CHORUS:
D         E6      A6
Oh I have been an idiot
D            E6     Abm
missing some key ingredient
    D       A6   Db6    D
But now I know how I will rise
   D      A6     Db6     D
Oh how on earth could I forget?
D       A6      Db6     D
Knowing you has made me wise
    D    A6     Db6     D
Now I am not an idiot!
