Capo 1st Fret

Intro: D MajorD FF G minorGm D MajorD Bb majorBb

D MajorD         A minorAm       D MajorD  A minorAm
There's a picture in the hall, I know
D MajorD        A minorAm          D MajorD   A minorAm
and it's from a time when feelings showed
C majorC            Bb majorBb
though I hold it close before my eyes
C majorC          Bb majorBb
my heart refuses to see.

Bb majorBb             A minorAm
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C majorC                 Bb majorBb
but there is something you don't understand
                A minorAm
through the times when two were one completely
C majorC             Bb majorBb
there was another in this well laid plan.

D MajorD            A minorAm        D MajorD  A minorAm
This corridor seems to stretch for years ahead
D MajorD            A minorAm           D MajorD  A minorAm
but patient hearts cannot match times steady tread
C majorC            Bb majorBb
is this the threshold of a fantasy?
C majorC           Bb majorBb
is there still life at all?

Bb majorBb             A minorAm
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C majorC                  Bb majorBb
but there is something you don't understand
                 A minorAm
through the times when two were one completely
C majorC                 Bb majorBb
there was another in this well laid plan... Best laid plan of ours.

C majorC          G minorGm
Watering the garden, some comfort for the twilight years
    Bb majorBb    C majorC     Bb majorBb
still, life never lingers, it marches past our veil of tears
             C majorC
a moment's all we've got, to have and to hold
G minorGm                      C majorC - D MajorD
don't slip, don't blink, don't turn your head.

D MajorD      A minorAm    D MajorD   A minorAm
With a photographic memory
D MajorD         A minorAm         D MajorD  A minorAm
I could live in a time that used to be
C majorC             Bb majorBb
is this the threshold of a fantasy?
C majorC           Bb majorBb
is there still life at all?

Bb majorBb             A minorAm
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C majorC                 Bb majorBb
but there is something you don't understand
                A minorAm
through the times when two were one completely
C majorC               Bb majorBb
there was another in this well laid plan.

Bb majorBb             A minorAm
Loving you could have been, oh so easy
C majorC                Bb majorBb
but there is something you don't understand
              A minorAm
there was a time when I was won completely
C majorC             Bb majorBb
our emotions they got out of hand...
