Intro: C  C9


      C    C9                 F             Em                   Dm
my foundation was rocked my tried and true way to deal was to vanish
      C    C9            F             Em                   Dm
my departures were old I stood in the room shaking in my boots
     F              G              C                  D7  
at that particular time love had challenged me to stay
     F              G              C                  D7  
at that particular moment I knew not run away again
  F              G              C            D7        F
that particular month I was ready to investigate with you
            G       C
at that particular time

                C            C9             F       Em           Dm
we thought a break would be good for four months we sat and vacillated
                C        C9            F           Em                Dm
we thought a small time apart would clear up the doubts that were abounding
     F              G              C                  D7 
at that particular time love encouraged me to wait
     F              G              C                  D7
at that particular moment it helped me to be patient
 F              G              C             D7           F
that particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant
            G        C
at that particular time

             Am                          F7
I've always wanted for you what you've wanted for yourself
           Am                      F7
and yet I wanted to save us high water or hell
       Am                     F7
and I kept on ignoring the ambivalence you felt 
           G                 F7
and in the meantime I lost myself
         G               F7
in the meantime I lost myself
      G             F7   G
I'm sorry I lost myself.i am

                C         C9   F          Em               Dm
you knew you needed more time time spent alone with no distraction
               C        C9   F        Em                     Dm
you felt you needed to fly solo and high to define what you wanted
    F              G              C                  D7
at that particular time love encouraged me to leave
   F                G             C                        D7
at that particular moment I knew staying with you meant deserting me
F              G               C                D7               F
that particular month was harder than you'd believe but I still left
            G           C
at that particular time
