[Intro] C  C9

      C    C9                 F             Em                   Dm
My foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
      C    C9            F             Dm                   G
My departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots
     F              G              C                  D7  
At that particular time love had challenged me to stay
     F              G              C                  D7  
At that particular moment I knew not to run away again
  F              G              C            D7        F
That particular month I was ready to investigate with you
            G       C
At that particular time

                C            C9       F             Em           
We thought a break would be good for four months we sat and 
      Dm
Vacillated
                C        C9            F           Dm                
We thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were 
      G
Abounding
     F              G              C                  D7 
At that particular time love encouraged me to wait
     F              G              C                  D7
At that particular moment it helped me to be patient
 F              G              C             D7           F
That particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant
            G        C
At that particular time

             Am                          F
I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself
           Am                      F
And yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
       Am                     F
And I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt 
           G                 F
And in the meantime I lost myself
         G               F
In the meantime I lost myself
      G             F      C  C9
I'm sorry I lost myself….i am

                C         C9   F          Em               Dm
You knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
               C        C9   F        Dm                     G
You felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
    F              G              C                  D7
At that particular time love encouraged me to leave
   F                G             C                        D7
At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
F              G               C                D7               F
That particular month was harder than you'd believe but I still left
            G           C
At that particular time
