[Refrão]
Gm
They must have loved each other once
Eb
But that was many years ago
Cm7
And by the time I came along
Cm6/D
Things were already going wrong
Gm
I felt the pain in their pretence
Eb
The side they tried hard not to show
Cm7
But through the simple eyes of youth
Cm6/D D7
It wasn't hard to see the truth
[Refrão]
Gm Eb
And in the end nobody wins
Cm7
When love begins to fall apart
Bb/D Eb
And it's the innocent who pay
Bb Eb/Bb
When broken dreams get in the way
Bb Am7 D
The game begins, the game nobody wins

[Verso 2]
Gm
They must have loved each other once
Eb
Before the magic slipped away
Cm7
And as their life became a lie
Cm6/D
What love remained began to die
Gm
I used to hide beneath the sheets
Eb
I prayed that time would find a way
Cm7
But with the passing of the years
Cm6/D D7
I watched as laughter turned to tears
[Refrão]

[Verso 3]
Gm
We used to love each other once
Eb
With all the passion we possessed
Cm7
But people change as time goes by
Cm6/D
Some feelings grow while others die
Gm
But if we learn from what we see
Eb
And face the truth while we still can
Cm7
Then though the passion may be gone
Cm6/D D7
Some kind of love can still live on
[Refrão]
