Capo 1st Fret

Intro: D F Gm D Bb

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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