As It Was

Am Am There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved Am Am Never I'd have life enough, my heart is screamin' out Am And in a few days I would be there, love Am F Whatever here that's left of me is yours just as it was F G Em Just as it was, baby Am C Dm F Before the otherness came G Em And I knew its name Em Dm The love, the dark, the light, the flame Am G The eyes at the heights of my baby C Dm And let's hope the fight of my baby F Am The lights were as bright as my baby F Am Am But your love was unmoved Am Tell me if somehow, some of it remained Am How long you would wait for me? Am Am How long I've been away? Am The shape that I'm in now, your shape in the doorway Am Make your good love known to me Am F Just tell me 'bout your day F G Em Just as it was, baby Am C Dm F Before the otherness came G Em And I knew its name Em Dm The drugs, the dark, the light, the shame Am G The eyes at the heights of my baby C Dm And this hope at the fight of my baby F Am The lights were as bright as my baby F Am But your love was unmoved Am G And the sights were as stark as my baby C Dm And the cold was as sharp as my baby F Am And the nights were as dark as my baby F Am Half as beautiful too
