Lyrics

[Intro]
| Cm | - | - | - |

[Verse 1]
Cm
There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved
Whenever I'd have life enough,
my heart is screamin' of
And in a few days I would be there, love
Whatever here that's left of me is yours just as it was

[Chorus]
Ab           Bb
  Just as it was, baby
Gm           Cm        Eb  Fm
  Before the otherness came
Ab                   Bb
  And I knew its name
Gm                        Eb
  The drug, the dark, the light,
    Fm
the flame

[Bridge]
    Cm                          Csus4/D
The highs hit the heights of my baby
            Eb                    Fm
And its hold  had the fight of my baby
              Ab                       Cm
And the lights  were as bright as my baby
Fm                         Cm
  But your love was unmoved

[Verse 2]
Cm
Tell me if somehow, some of it remains
How long you would wait for me?
And how long I've been away
The shape that I'm in now,
your shape in the doorway
Make your good love known to me
Or just tell me 'bout your day

[Chorus]
Ab           Bb
  Just as it was, baby
Gm           Cm        Eb  Fm
  Before the otherness came
Ab                   Bb
  And I knew its name
Gm                        Eb
  The drug, the dark, the light,
    Fm
the shame

[Bridge]
    Cm                          Csus4/D
The highs hit the heights of my baby
            Eb                    Fm
And its hold  had the fight of my baby
              Ab                       Cm
And the lights  were as bright as my baby
Fm                         Cm
  But your love was unmoved
                                     Csus4/D
And the sights were as stark as my baby
            Eb                   Fm
And the cold  cut as sharp as my baby
              Ab                     Cm
And the nights  were as dark as my baby
Fm                         Cm
  And half as beautiful too
