[Verse 1]
 
       C
Lay a whisper on my pillow,
          F             G
leave the winter on the ground
          C                       F
I wake up lonely, there's air of silence
       Dm               G
in the bedroom and all around
         Am              C              F     G
Touch me now, I close my eyes and dream away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                  C                   F
It must have been love, but it's over now
                  Dm          Am          G
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow
                  C                  F
It must have been love but it's over now
                   Dm               Am           G
from the moment we touched till the time had run out
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
       C
Make-believing, we're together
         F                 G
that I'm sheltered by your heart
           C                      F
But in and outside I've turned to water
       Dm               G
like a teardrop in your palm
           Am             C            F    G
And it's a hard, winter's day, I dream away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                   C                  F
It must have been love, but it's over now
                  Dm              Am         G
It was all that I wanted, now I'm living without
                   C                 Gm
It must have been love but it's over now
               C                           Bb
It's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows
