Tom: D D A The story of you and I has beautiful memories A7 D 'Til lonesome and weary sighs start keepin' them company G As soon as they all gather 'round, along comes misery D A A7 Then here we go again, here we go again Verse: D A So if an old friend of mine comes knockin' upon my door A7 D All I could tell him now, he's already heard before G It's better to love and lose, to never have played at all D A D B7 For sometimes losers are the only ones who win Chorus: E B7 I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you E For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew B7 And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity E Along with all the memories that belong to you and me D Instrumental (Same as verse) [ D A A7 D G D A A7 ] Verse: D A A fortunate man I am that you were a part of me A7 D The game has been played and I'm just shy of a victory G The heartaches that carry on will soon be history D A D B7 Let's hope the world is full of losers in the end Chorus: E B7 I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you E For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew B7 And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity E Along with all the memories that belong to you and me Instrumental [ E B7 E B7 E C ] Chorus: F C I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you F For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew C And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity F Along with all the memories that belong to you and me
