When You Loved Me

Tuning: Standard, but a whole step down - DGCFAd

VERSE/INTRO:

d-----0--------0---------0---------0------ A-------0--------0---------0---------0---- F---------0--------0---------0---------0-- C----------------------------------------- G---7--------7--------9---------9--------- D-----------------------------------------

  I look to the 
  west. The sun blinds me, I shade my
  eyes. Your gaze finds me, I lose my
  breath

d-----0--------0---------0---------0------ A-------0--------0---------0---------0---- F---------0--------0---------0---------0-- C----------------------------------------- G---7--------7--------9---------9--------- D-----------------------------------------

   She looks at
   you. My head reels, you look
   back. You make her
   feel like I used
   to

d-----0--------0---------0---------0------ A-------0--------0---------0---------0---- F---------0--------0---------0---------0-- C----------------------------------------- G---7--------7--------9---------9--------- D-----------------------------------------

   I recall when you first touched me
   Haunted by your face above me

CHORUS (Same picking pattern as above)

Am - D Am - D Yo-ou, it was always yo--ou C D With your broken crown G Em Touched me like Holy ground C D And I, so eager to believe G Cm So sincere, so naive C D Back when you loved ...

d-----0--------0---------0---------0------ A-------0--------0---------0---------0---- F---------0--------0---------0---------0-- C----------------------------------------- G---7--------7--------9---------9--------- D-----------------------------------------

  ...me
  I look to the sky,
  Small birds fly in a black line
  One falls behind I hear it cry

  The sun shines through
  Your water glass, it lights up her dress
  It magnifies what I re-
  -gret

d-----0--------0---------0---------0------ A-------0--------0---------0---------0---- F---------0--------0---------0---------0-- C----------------------------------------- G---7--------7--------9---------9--------- D-----------------------------------------

   I recall when you first touched me
   Haunted by your face above me

CHORUS Am - D Am - D Yo-ou, it was always yo--ou C D With your broken crown G Em Touched me like Holy ground C D And I, so eager to believe G Cm So sincere, so naive C D Back when you loved me

BRIDGE:

Em C Oh, living with your memory now Em C Oh, it’s like being lost at sea now Em C Oh, it’s dragging me, it’s dragging me, Dragging me down

CHORUS:

Am - D Am - D Yo-ou, it was always yo--ou C D With your broken crown G Em Touched me like Holy ground C D And I, consumed with poetry G Cm The kind that brought me to my knees C D Back when you loved ...

d-----0--------0---------0---------0------ A-------0--------0---------0---------0---- F---------0--------0---------0---------0-- C----------------------------------------- G---7--------7--------9---------9--------- D-----------------------------------------

   ...me

   I look to the west
   I hope that bird has found it’s way
   The sun slips away
