Am Am/E G/E Am A2 A4 Am
Love - how could there ever be a mystery so sweet
F G
How could there ever be a moment so
C G/B E7/G# Am Am/G
Completely filled with melodies that linger in your memory
F C/E Dm E4 E
Until the day the echo fades in autumn's distant flame


Love - what does it mean to say that love has come and gone
What does it mean to feel you just can't carry
On like this another day, without the words, without a way
To find the gold within your soul where, somehow, hope remains

F G E/G# Am
I may never know if my choice was right or wrong
F C/E Dm E F/E G/E
But my thoughts burn deep as I yearn for sleep in this hour before the dawn



Am G/A D/A Am G/A D/A
If I had never been kissed by the magic, I could have never been pierced by the pain
F Em Dm G A9
As it pours from the skies with the thundering cries of Noah's rain
Am G/A D/A Am G/A D/A
If I had never been filled with the wonder, it would be easier now to forget
F Em Dm G C2
All the places and times that I'm leaving behind in dark regret


FM7 Em
And though I know that soon enough my thoughts will turn to other loves
Dm9 Em7
As emptiness and anger slowly fade
Am/E G/E
Still the hope of better days is the legacy that stays
Am
At a parting of the ways
Am/E G/E
Yes, the hope of better days is the legacy that stays
Am
At a parting of the ways
