[Intro] Am [Verse 1]
Am
There is a roadway, muddy and foxgloved

    Am                                                Am
Whenever I'd have life enough, my heart is screamin' of

Am
And in a few days I will be there, love

    Am                                              F
Whatever here that's left of me is yours just as it was
[Pre-Chorus]
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 drug, the dark, the light, the flame
[Chorus]
    Am                          G
The highs hit the heights of my baby

          C                      Dm
And its hold had the fight of my baby

         F                         Am
And the lights were as bright as my baby

F                    Am    Am
But your love was unmoved
[Verse 2]
Am
Tell me if somehow, some of it remains

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
Or just tell me 'bout your day
[Pre-Chorus]
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 drug, the dark, the light, the shame
[Chorus]
    Am                          G
The highs hit the heights of my baby

          C                      Dm
And its hold had the fight of my baby

         F                         Am
And the lights were as bright as my baby

F                    Am    Am
But your love was unmoved
[Outro]
        Am                         G
And the sights were as stark as my baby

        C                       Dm
And the cold cut as sharp as my baby

        F                         Am
And the nights were as dark as my baby

    F             Am
Half as beautiful too
