[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
