Beautiful song from URS. Still not completely sure on the chords, so if you have any corrections,
Intro: C - (Add variations to the C chord by placing your pinky on the high E on
3rd fret, then removing it, then removing your middle finger. This sort of variation is used in the verses,
i;m not too
sure, but the C using the pinky on the high E may be used on its own later on).
My foundCation was rocked
My Ftried and true Emway to deal was to vanishDm  
My deCpartures were old
I Fstood in the Dmroom shaking in my boGots
At Fthat particular Gtime love had Cchallenged me to Dmstay
At that particular moment I knew not to run away again
That particualr month I was ready to investigate with you
FAt that particualr timeC  
We thought a break would be good
For four months we sat and vacillated
We thought a small time apart
Would clear up the doubts that were abounding
At that particular time love encouraged me to wait
At that particualr moment it helped me to be patient
That particular month we needed time to marinate in what "us" meant
At that particular time
I've always Emwanted for you
What you've wanted for Fyourself
And yet I Emwanted to save us high Fwater or hell
And I Emkept on ignoring the Fambivalence you felt
In the Dmmeantime I lost mysFelf
In the Dmmeantime I lost mysFelf
I'm Dmsorry I lost mysFelf...I amC  
You knew you needed more time
Time spent alone with no distraction
You felt you needed to fly
Solo and high to define what you wanted
At that particualr time love encouraged me to leave
At that particular moment I knew staying with you meant desserting me
That particualr month was harder than you'd believe
But I Fstill left
At that particualr timCe
