Tom : D
D F#m A D G D
It started long ago, you have to understand
F#m G
we thought we'd make a life, we thought we had a plan
D G D
we built it like a house and filled it up with kids
F#m
the only trouble is
C G
I won't be back again
[Refrão]
D Gm
Cause something in my heart has taken to the wind
Bm E
and nothing I can do will bring it back again
G Gm A
nobody ever wins the war in the gulf between us
D Gm
something in my heart no longer could survive
Bm E
those battles in the day, the quiet in the night
G Gm D F#m
I lost the will to fight the war in the gulf between us
[Próxima Parte]
Am G Gm A D G D
And then it all began, the quarrels and the moods
F#m G
I tip-toed all around you; you danced around me too
D G D
and somewhere in between we found the time for love
F#m
the only trouble is
C G
it never was enough
[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
G A
What was the sense in keeping alive
C G
something that never made us satisfied
Em A
sometimes it's better to get on with your life
C A7
I don't believe in hurting each other all the time
*G O*
D Gm D Gm D F#m A D G D
Now after all the lawyers have eaten our remains
F#m G
and after all the nights have swallowed up the pain
D G D
then maybe we will meet, we'll find a neutral place
F#m
the only trouble is
C G
what will we have to say?
D Gm
Well something in our hearts will have to try and give
Bm E
and something in our hearts will have to learn to live
G Gm D F#m
together and apart without another war between us
Am G Gm A D
