I Awoke

Tom: Am

Am      C            F       C
Did you lay with the shallow girl?
Am      C             F             C
Did you wake with her warmth by her side?
Am             C              F           C
What are these tales that are reaching my ears?
G                      F           C
Yes, I awoke and I awoke by her side
G                      F           Am     C     F     C
Yes, I awoke and I awoke by her side

[Verse 2]
Am       C               F            C
Were you close, were you lovers, were friends?
Am      C              F              C
Did she play with and blacken my good name?
Am          C       F        C
Did she cry out and reel you in?
G                             F              C
Yes she cried out and I shall never feel the same
G                             F              Am
Yes she cried out and I shall never feel the same

[Chorus]
F
Could you want her, could you need her
C            G
More than I, more than I?

Am     C     F     C x2

[Verse 3]
Am     C        F        C
And of love you swore un-blinding
Am     C                 F        C
Of the strength that you promised me
Am     C           F           C
Dare I hope dare I pray dare I ask
G                       F        C
When you awoke, did you think of me?
G                       F        Am
When you awoke, did you think of me?

Could you want her, could you need her

More than I, more than I?

More than I?

F

C            G
More than I, more than I?
