Capo on 1st fret
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?
