Key: F
Introduction:
F F9
In the time we've known,
F F9 F
That we each are a part of one another
Bb C7 F F9 F F9 Bb
We've lost as much as we have won
Bb F F9
And as our lives have grown,
F F9 F
We have found that it only brings us pain
Bb C7 Dm C7
To hang on to the things that we have done
F F9 F F9 Bb
Still I've loved the times you've come
F F9
When you went away
F F9 F
Taking all that I built my false road on^?
Bb C7 F F9 F F9 Bb
I dropped my life and couldn't find the pieces
F F9
Now you come and go
F F9 F
And it's hard but I feel my strength returning
Bb C7 Dm
We'll see how far this new road reaches
C7 F
We'll see a little more each time we come
Bb C7 F
Everybody's gonna tell you it's not worth it
Bb C7 Dm
Everybody's gotta show you their own pain
Bb C7 F
You might try to find your way up around it
Bb C7
But the need for love will still remain
F F9
Now we're lying here,
F F9 F
So safe in the ruins of our pleasure
Bb C7 F F9 F F9 Bb
Laughter marks the place where we have fallen
F F9
And our lives are near
F F9
So it wouldn't occur to us to wonder
Bb C7 Dm C7
Is this the past or the future that is calling
C7 F
You know I've loved these times you've come
F F9 F F9 Bb F F9 F F9 Bb F
