[Verse One]
C
It was a pivotal moment
 
Walking along clifftops
F
I try not to think about
 
The second where I looked up
C
Saw him breaking
F
It'd been so hard when I was in America
C
He was a creature of comfort
 
Loving me deep and blind
F
Forced our lives to intertwine
 
Ignoring every flag and sign
C
It was sacred
 
We sure had heart
F
But trouble lay ahead of us
 
And so it faded out like it always does
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
Nowadays, I tend to go it alone
F
Down to the waterway
 
Closest to my home
Am G
And I heard he misses me around
F
For him letting me down
 
It put a chain on the door
F*
But what is that good for?
 
[Chorus]
C Am
'Cause I may have been burned
G
Still, I'll feel it return
F C
The pull towards adoring is like gravity to me
Am
I may have been scorned
G
But I ache for that warmth that comes with knowing one
F
As well as you know family
Am
And I know
G
Better than anyone who tells me so
F
Reopened wounds are all I'm gonna see
Am G F
But loving somebody made me happy
Am G F
Loving somebody made me me
 
[Verse Two]
C
In the middle of August, mm
 
Was when it all went south
F
I try not to think about
 
The loss of love on his part
C
It is wretched to know yourself
F
Solely when you are with someone else
 
And feeling like every card you had's been dealt
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am G
So nowadays, I'd rather go it alone
F
Down to the waterway
 
Closest to my home's where I go
Am G
And I know that for the first time
F
I'm finally doing fine
F*
But there's a chain on the door
 
And what is that good for?
 
[Chorus}
C Am
I may have been burned
G
Still, I'll feel it return
F C
The pull towards adoring you comes naturally to me
Am
I may have been scorned
G
But I ache for that warmth that comes with knowing one
F
As well as you know family
Am G
And I know better than anyone who tells me so
F
I'm surely bound to repeat history
Am G F
But loving somebody made me happy
Am G F
Loving somebody made me me
