C F3 F C E7/G# E7/B
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Am C/G F G7 Gdim
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
C F3 F C E7/G# E7/B
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
Am C/G F C/E
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
Dm G7 Gdim
The someone you once loved so long ago so well
C F3 F C E7/G# E7/B
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
Am C/G F G7 Gdim
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
C F3 F C E7/G# E7/B
Every moment of my life from now until I die
Am C/G F C/E
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
Dm G7 Gdim
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
C G/B
Is it written in the stars
Am C/G
Are we paying for some crime
Am7/F Dm/E
Is that all that we are good for
Dm G
Just a stretch of mortal time
C G/B
Is this God's experiment
Am C/G
In which we have no say
Am7/F Dm/E
In which we're given paradise
Dm G C F3 F C F3 F
But only for a day
C F3 F C E7/G# E7/B
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
Am C/G F G7 Gdim
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
C F3 F C E7/G# E7/B
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Am C/G F C/E
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
Dm G7 Gdim
What it is to be in love and have that love returned
(Chorus)
(Chorus {BACKING VOCALS})
