==VERSE==
F          C       Dm                  Bb
How did I love you? There was no measuring
F               C           Dm        Bb
Far above this dirty world, far above everything
Bb               C                Dm
In your tower over it, you were clean


==VERSE==
F              C       Dm              Bb
So warm and insightful were you in my eyes
F              C       Dm              Bb
I was sure the rightful guardian of my life
Bb            C              Dm
Damn you betrayer, how you lied!


==CHORUS==
        Bb
But for seven years
C                        F                               C
You were loved, I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet
        Bb
And for seven years
C                                    F              C
I bowed down to touch the ground so holy; your devotee
Bb                  Db               Dm
You were, you were all that I could see


==VERSE==
F            C        Dm                    Bb
I've got my sight now, I see everything you hid
F                    C        Dm               Bb
So don't you try to right now all the wrong you did
Bb           C                   Dm
I might forget you, but not forgive


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


==OUTRO==
Bb                  Db               Dm
You were, you were all that I could see  (repeat x4)
