Never going to know

What fate is going to blow

Your way just hope that it feels right

You take it ever so slow
B minorBm
And then you lose it,
B minorBm
and then it flows right to you
F# minorF#m
So we rely on the past
F# minorF#m
And special moments that last
B minorBm
Were they as tender
B minorBm
As we dare to remember
F# minorF#m
Such a fine time as this
F# minorF#m
What could equal the bliss
B minorBm
The thrill of the first kiss
B minorBm
It'll blow right to you

It's like the weather, one day
B minorBm
chicken next day feathers
F# minorF#m
The rose we remember
F# minorF#m
The thorns we forget

We'd love and leave
B minorBm
We never spend a minute on regret
F# minorF#m
It is a possibility
F# minorF#m
The more we know the less we see
B minorBm
Second time
B minorBm
is not quite what it seemed

Natural as the way

We came to be

The second time
B minorBm
won't live up to the dream
