~~~~~~~~~~
[Verse 1]
E * Esus E
I watch the western sky, the sun is sinking
Bsus C#m
The geese are flying south, it sets me thinkin'
Asus2 Bsus
I did not miss you much, I did not suffer
A/C# E
What did not kill me just made me tougher
[Verse 2]
* Esus E * Esus E
I feel the winter come, his icy sinews
Bsus C#m
Now in the fire light, the case continues
Asus2 Bsus
Another night in court, the same old trial
A/C# E
The same old questions asked, the same denial
[Verse 3]
* Esus E * Esus E
The shadows closely run, like jury members
Bsus C#m
I look for answers in the fire's embers
Asus2 Bsus
Why was I missing then that whole December?
A/C# E
I give my usual line, "I don't remember"
[Chorus]
C#m B/D#
Another winter comes, his icy fingers creep
Asus2 E
Into these bones of mine these memories never sleep
C#m Bsus C#m Bsus
And all these differences, a cloak I borrow
C#m Asus2 Bsus Asus2
We kept our distances, why should it follow
Bsus E
I must have loved you
Esus* E
E
[Bridge]
C#m
What is the force that binds the stars?
B/D#
I wore this mask to hide my scars
A(add9) Asus2(add#11)*
What is the power that pulls the tide?
A(add9) Asus2(add#11)*
Never could find a place to hide
C#m
What moves the Earth around the sun?
B/D#
What could I do but run and run and run?
A(add9) Asus2(add#11)*
Afraid to love, afraid to fail
A(add9)
A mast without a sail
N.C.
[Verse 4]
F# * F#sus F#
The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking
C# D#m
Another day begins and now I'm thinking
B C#
That this indifference was my invention
B/D# C#/F
When everything I did sought your attention
F# * F#sus F#
You were my compass star, you were my measure
C# D#m
You were a pirate's map, a buried treasure
B C#
If this was all correct, the last thing I'd expect
B/D# C#
The prosecution rests, it's time that I confessed
[Outro]
F#
I must have loved you (X 7)
F#
