Intro 2x: F

Am             F                           C
  Baby,  I was not the one     I guess you know that now
      F                Dm            C
but I kept you real distracted for a while
Am                  F                    C
  I look back,  and nothing much,   ever comes to mind
F               G              C
sometimes I can picture half a smile
               F
and we were as thick as thieves~ hung on each
Dm                              G       F
others sleeves, kissing all the time

    C                                   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   Yeah,
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

Am               F                        C
I try to figure, what has gone  I seem to look the same
F               G                   C
maybe there's a tightness around my eyes
              F
Sometimes the evening comes  I think I
Dm                       G       F
miss someone   then I realise

     C                                   Am
That if I ever loved you, shouldn't I be crying
               Dm                                G
shouldn't I be cracking up  and drinking all the time   Yeah,
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

                C                           Em
and love it can make your world  bring you alive
             Am                              D              C            C
but I wasn't dead before  so baby, you ain't hard      to survive

Am            F                   C
  Maybe I was not the one,  but I had to try
    F                    G                 C
and in the end,  there's no such thing, as wasted time
             F
Wasn't I the interim   between
       Dm                             G       F
nothingness and him, so how is that a crime

    C                                   Am
But if I ever loved you, shouldn't I be crying
                Dm                                G
s houldn't I be cracking up  and drinking all the time   Yeah,
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
