G C G Bm I am here to tell you we can never meet again Em C G D Simple really, isnʼt it, a word or two and then G C G Bm A 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 Iʼll feel as living shuffle by Em C G D You donʼt 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 Godʼs experiment Em In which we have no say C In which weʼre 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 Iʼll ever want, but this I am denied Em G C Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish Iʼd 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 Godʼs experiment Em In which we have no say C In which weʼre given paradise D But only for a day
