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