As It Was Chords

[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
