Verse:
C                            Am         Em
I am here to tell you we can never meet again

C                          Am              G
Simple really, isn’t it, a word or two and then
C                                  Am            Em
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
C                                   Am          G
You think of me, or speak of me, or wonder what befell
F                                       G
The someone you once loved so long ago, so well

C                              Am              Em
Never wonder what I’ll feel as living shuffles by
C                            Am         G
You don’t have to ask me and I need not reply
C                            Am          Em
Every momentof my life from now until I die
C                                Am           G
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
F                                    G
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand

Chorus:
C
Is it written in the stars
Am
Are we paying for some crime
Em
Is that all that we are good for
G
Just a stretch of mortal time
C
Is this God’s experiment
Am
In which we have no say
Em
In which we’re given paradise
F        G
But only for a day

Verse:
C                                    Am         Em
Nothing can be altered, oh, there is nothing to decide
C                                  Am           G
No escape, no change of heart, nor any place to hide
C                              Am        Em
You are all I’ll ever want but this I am denyin’
C                                  Am           G
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts I wish I never learned
F                            G
What it is to be in love and have that love returned

Chorus:
C
Is it written in the stars
Am
Are we paying for some crime
Em
Is that all that we are good for
G
Just a stretch of mortal time
C
Is this God’s experiment God's experiment
Am
In which we have no say In which we have now say
Em
In which we’re given paradise If only for a day
F              G
But only for a day

Bridge:
N.C.
 Is it written in the stars
 Are we paying for some crime

N.C.
 Is that all that we are good for
 Just a stretch of mortal time

N.C.
 Is this God’s experiment God's experiment
 In which we have no say In which we have no say

N.C.
 In which we’re given paradise If only for a day
 But only for a day

Outro:
C
Is it written in the stars
Am
Are we paying for some crime
Em
Is that all that we are good for
G
Just a stretch of mortal time
C
Is this God’s experiment
Am
In which we have no say
Em
In which we’re given paradise
F        G
