[C] I am here to tell [F] you we can [C] never meet [Em] again
[Am] Simple really, isn't [F] it, a [C] word or two and [G] then
[C] A lifetime of not [F] knowing where or [C] how or why or [Em] when
You think of [Am] me or speak of [F] me or [C] wonder what [Em] befell
The [Am] someone you once [Dm] loved so long ago so [G] well
[C] Never wonder [F] what I'll feel as [C] living shuffles [Em] by
You don't [Am] have to ask [F] me and [C] I need not [G] reply
[C] Every moment of [F] my life from [C] now until I [Em] die
I will [Am] think or dream of [F] you and [C] fail to [Em] understand
How a perfect [Dm] love can be confounded out of [G] hand
[C] Is it written in the [G] stars
[Am] Are we paying for some [C] crime
[F] Is that all that we are [Dm] good for
[Dm] Just a stretch of [G] mortal time
[C] Is this God's [G] experiment
[Am] In which we have [C] no say
[F] In which we're given [Dm] paradise
[Dm] But only for [G] a day
[C] Nothing can be [F] altered, there is [C] nothing to [Em] decide
No [Am] escape, no change of [F] heart, no [C] anyplace to [G] hide
You [C] are all I'll [F] ever want, but this [C] I am [Em] denied
Some[Am] times in my darkest [F] thoughts, I [C] wish I'd never [Em] learned
[Dm] What it is to be in [Dm] love and have that love [G] returned
