FM7 F7sus49
Didn?t we almost make it
A#M7
we almost shared that lifetime of happy ever afters?
Gmi7 Cmi7 FM7
Didn?t we almost have it all
FM7
Didn?t we almost break it
F7sus49 A#M7
That rule that tells you nothing so good can last forever.
Gm7 C7
Now we?re the also rans
Am7 D7
Two sentimental could have beens
Gm7
Two fools who had the greatest love
C7sus49 C7
In the palms of our hands
FM7
Then let it go?
FM7
Tell me this didn?t happen
F7sus49
Tell me I?ll wake up from this nightmare
A#M7
And you?ll still be there
Gm7 C7
Tell me that you love me
FM7 A#M7
That you?ll build your life around me
D#M7 Dsus4 Ds
Lie to me until I learn to breath again
Gm7
Cause I simply can?t imagine
C7sus49
Breathing out and breathing in again
FM7
Without you
They tell Me I?ll learn to live my life without you
Those million things I cherish about you
Will just fade away
Well I?ll be glad to tell the world I?m over you
Tell them I?m not wild about you
Should only take a lifetime? Maybe two
FM7
Didn?t it seem so simple then
Fsus 49
You and I shared all the secrets to
A#M7
Our universe
Gmi7 C7
Our ones and ones were always twos
FM7 A#M7
Our wildest dreams would all come true
D#
Nothing else much mattered
Dsus4 D
But me and you
Gm7
If it seemed so simple then
C7sus4 C7
Why can?t I just remember where or when
FM7
I lost you?
