VERSE

D          A       Bm                  G 
How did I love you? There was no measuring 
D               A           Bm        G 
Far above this dirty world, far above everything 
G               A                Bm  
In your tower over it, you were clean  


VERSE 

D              A       Bm              G 
So warm and insightful were you in my eyes 
D              A       Bm              G 
I was sure the rightful guardian of my life 
G            A              Bm 
Damn you betrayer, how you lied!  



        G            
But for seven years 
A                        D                               A 
You were loved, I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet  
        G 
And for seven years 
A                                    D              A 
I bowed down to touch the ground so holy; your devotee  
G                  Bb               Bm 
You were, you were all that I could see  


VERSE:

D            A        Bm                    G 
I've got my sight now, I see everything you hid 
D                    A        Bm               G 
So don't you try to right now all the wrong you did 
G           A                   Bm 
I might forget you, but not forgive  



        G            
But for seven years 
A                        D                               A 
You were loved, I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet  
        G 
And for seven years 
A                                    D              A 
I bowed down to touch the ground so holy; your devotee 
       G                     A 
And for seven years, you were so revered 
         D                                  A 
I made offerings of anything and everything I had  
G                  Bb               Bm 
You were, you were all that I could see  


OUTRO:
 
G                  Bb               Bm 
You were, you were all that I could see  (repeat x4)
