Capo: 2nd fret (I've seen him place the capo on the 4th or 5th fret, place it 
wherever you're comfortable)


[G] I remember a conversation, [Em] at a restaurant
[C] With a friend of mine, he?d a successful mind
[G] And he told me of his [D] life
[G] And the plans he?d made to come this far
[Em] Had gone so well and now we?re all so proud of [C] him
And he told me how
But I [G] couldn?t bear to [D] listen

(G) Cause all my life I?ve heard
Of the (Em) dreams of the organized
To be the [C] best in the company
To win the [G] awards but that?s not me [D]
Cause [G] all my life all I ever [Em] wanted
Was a [C] love that lasted longer than the [G] silence

[G] All my life, [Em] all my life
[C] Was a love that lasted longer than the [G] silence

[G] I had to say that I had to leave
Cause [Em] it was on my mind
That all he [C] set in me were insecurities
But that [G] dream was never mine [D]
Cause the plans [G] I thought I?d made so far
Had gone [Em] alright but all that I feel now is doubt [C]
And he told me why
But I [G] couldn?t bear to listen [D]

[G] Cause all my life I?ve heard
Of the dreams [Em] of the organized
To be the [C] best in the company
To win the [G] awards but that?s not me [D]
Cause [G] all my life all I ever [Em] wanted
Was a [C] love that lasted longer than the [G] silence

[G] All my life, [Em]all my life
Was a [C] love that lasted longer than the [G] silence
