F            C              F        C
You had your soul with you, I was in no mood
F     Csus4     A#       C
Drift away, and I could forget
F         C     F        C
I had only one last feather left
F         Csus4  A#     C
I wore it on the island of my head
A#    C     F             C  A#           C     F  C
I had only one thing to do and I couldn't do it yet

You felt like heaven stood up in you
You said love fills you out
It moves you from the skeleton and pulls you around
I got it worse than anyone else
And I just can't find a way to forgive myself
I had only one thing left and I couldn't see it yet

Dm                    F                      A#
I have owed it to my heart, every word I've said
                     Gm
You have no idea how hard I died when you left
A#    C       F         Csus4   A#        C     F  C
If I yield to my trances, will I get up close again?
A#    C     F            C    A#           C     F C
I had only one thing to do and I couldn't do it yet
A#    C     F            C    A#           C     F C
I had only one thing left and I couldn't see it yet

You had your soul with you, I was in no mood
You had your soul with you, I was in no mood
