[B] [Am] [E] [B] [A]
[E] [F#m]
[D#m] [F#] [E] [A]
[F#m] [C] [F#] [E]
I watch [Am] the [Em] western sky, [A] the sun is [E] sinking
The [Am] geese are flying [F#m]
south, [E] it sets me [F#] thinking
[E] I did not [B] miss you [F#m]
much, I did not suffer
[B] [E] Why did not [F#m] kill me, just [C#m] make me [E] tougher
I feel the winter come, is [A] ice still [E] use
Now [Am] in the fire [F#m]
lights, [E] the case [F#] continues
[E] Another night [A] in court, [C#m] the same [F#m] old trial
[D#m] [E] The same old [F#m] questions asked, [E] the same denial
The shadows close me round, [A] like jewelry [E] members
I look [F#m] far and sees him, [E] the [F#] fire's [B] embers
[E] Why was I [A] missing him, that [E] whole [F#m] December
I give [E] my [A] usual line, I [C] [F#m] don't [E] remember
Another [C#m] winter comes, his [E] icy [B] fingers creep
[A] Into these bones of mine, [B] these [E] memories never sleep
[C#m] And all [E] these differences, [A] I [C#m] clock [B] I follow
[A] We kept our distances, why [E] should [A] it follow
I [E] must have loved you
Is
[C#m]
the force what's the [E] cause
I wore this mask to hide my [A] scars
What is the part that pulls me tight
Never could find a place to [C#m] hide
What moves the earth around the [E] sun
What could I do but run and run and [A] run
Afraid to love, afraid to pay
A mask should never save [E] you
Long wounds I [F#] fingernail, I'm slowly sinking
Another [C#] day begins, and now I'm [D#m] thinking
[F] That [D#m] this [B] influence was my [C#] invention
When everything [G#m] I [D#m] did sought your [C#] attention
You were my [F#] compass sharp, you were my vision
You were a [C#] pirate's map, a buried [D#m] treasure
If this was [B] all correct, the last thing [C#] I'd expect
[A#m]
[B] The prosecution rests, it's time that [C#] I confess
I must have [F#] loved you
I must have loved you
I must have loved you
I must have loved you
[B] I must [F#] have loved you
