I Have To Learn


[Intro: chords as Verse 1]



A                       Dmaj7   Dm
I have to learn to live alone again

A                      Dmaj7
I used to burn to live alone again

    C#m     D                A
But this is now and that was then

    Bm7    E     Bm7     E7    A
And now I have to live alone again



        D                           A
Did you paint your bedroom gold the way you planned?

        D                          A
Is the same love song open on the music stand?

    D                           C#m     F#m
Not knowing things like that is part of missing you

   Dmaj7                     E    E7
As much as never touching you or kissing you



[Instrumental: chords as Verse 1]



    D                                   A
I cross the silver bridge and see your balcony

     D                                    A
The vines have filled the trellis with a filigree

  D                                 C#m     F#m
I had such plans to see the way your garden grew

    Dmaj7                  E        E7
And missing out on that is part of missing you

   Bm            Bm7         E    E7
As much as never touching you or kissing you



I have to learn to live alone again
I used to burn to live alone again
But now I do I wonder when
I'll ever learn to live alone again
