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