C
I watch the Western sky
            C
The sun is sinking
               G
The geese are flying South
            F
It sets me thinking

           F
I did not miss you much
           G
I did not suffer
              F
What did not kill me
              C
Just made me tougher

             C         F
I feel the winter come
          C
His icy sinews
            G
Now in the fire light
             F       G  
The case continues
         F
Another night in court
              G
The same old trial
              F                G
The same old questions asked
          C
The same denial

             C              F
The shadows close me round
            C
Like jury members
            G
I look for answers in
           F        G
The fire's embers
           F
Why was I missing then
            G
That whole December
           F          G
I give my usual lie:
          C
I don't remember

         Am
Another winter comes
         G
His icy fingers creep
            F
Into these bones of mine
                C
These memories never sleep
               G            F
And all these differences
            G
A cloak I borrow
              F
We kept our distances
               F   G               C
Why should it follow I must have loved you

Am                      G
What is the force that binds the stars
F                    C      G
I wore this mask to hide my scars
Am                      G
What is the power that pulls the tide
F                     C        G
I never could find a place to hide
Am                     G
What moves the Earth around the sun
F                    C      G        F
What could I do but run and run and run
F
Afraid to love, afraid to fail
F                 G
A mast without a sail

               D            A        D
The moon's a fingernail and slowly sinking
         A                       G       A
Another day begins and now I'm thinking
           G                    A
That this indifference was my invention
           G                       A7
When everything I did sought your attention

             D             A
You were my compass star
             D
You were my measure
            A
You were a pirate's map
           G         A
A buried treasure
             G
If this was all correct
                A
The last thing I'd expect
          G
The prosecution rests
               A7                       D
It's time that I confess: I must have loved you
