Lyrics

It (C)must have been love,

but it’s (F)o ver now.

Lay a (C)whis per

on my pil low,

leave the (F)win ter

on the (G)ground.

I wake up (C)lone ly,

a stare of (F)si lence

in the (Dm)bed room

and all a (G)round.

And Touch me (Am)now,

I close my (C)eyes

and dream a (F)way.

It must have been (C)love, but it’s o ver now.

It must have been (Dm)good, but I (Am)lost it some how.

It must have been (C)love, but it’s o ver now,

from the mo ment we (Dm)touched, to the (Am)time that ran out.

Make be (C)liev ing

we’re to geth er,

that I’m (F)shel tered

by your (G)heart.

But in and (C)out side

I turn to (F)wa ter

like a (Dm)tear drop

and in your (G)heart.

And it’s a (Am)hard

I win ter’s (C)day

I dream a (F)way.

It must have been (C)love, but it’s o ver now.

It must have been (Dm)good, but I (Am)lost it some how.

It must have been (C)love, but it’s o ver now,

from the mo ment we (Dm)touched, to the (Am)time that ran out.

Make be (C)love, but it’s o ver now.

It’s where the (C)wa ter flows.

It’s where the (Bb)wind blows.

It must have been (F)love, but it’s o ver now.

It must have been (Gm)good, but I (Dm)lost it some how.

It must have been (F)love, but it’s o ver now,

from the mo ment we (Gm)touched, to the (Dm)time that ran out.

Yeah, must have been (F)love, but it’s o ver (Bb)now.

It’s all that I (Gm)want ed, now I’m (Dm)liv ing with out.

It must have been (F)love, but it’s o ver now.

It’s where the (F)wa ter flows.

It’s where the (Eb)wind blows.

(F)Must have been love,

but it’s (Bb)o ver now,

now.

(F)Must have been love,

but it’s (Bb)o ver now,

now.
