Us in 1984. It was originally accompanied by piano but works well on guitar with a 
finger picking style.

The C chord on the first line of each verse can be enhanced by picking a high G 
(1st string 3rd fret) on the words 'do' and 'go' and again as it passes to the F 
chord. See complete chord below.

The G4 chord is optional but may be played as a passing chord to lead into the 
Dm chord in the next line.

C5
 What did we do wrong?
       F5       C5        F5             C5
We had all the magic to put us on our way
F5              C5       F5        D5          G5 ( G5 )
 And all the tragedy, that we ever want to see
                 D5   
But you know I'm right, 
               F5     G5        C5    F5 C5 G5    
When I say the best, is yet to come
        
C5                               
 Where did we go wrong? 
       F5    C5             F5                 C5
Was it so enlightening we couldn't find our way
F5          C5          F5             D5               G5  ( G5 )
 All so frightening, we couldn't see which move to make 
                 D5
And you know I'm right
               F5     G5        C5      
When I say the best, is yet to come

/   F5      G5            
And if you leave me now,
F5                 G5
 Like you say you might
E5                D5                   
 Oh please don't leave me now
         F5           D5
'Cause I know, if you do
        E5             F5    G5
None of this will come true so...

C5                               
 Where do we go now?
         F5        C5          F5             C5
Now your heart is aching and leading you astray
F5          C5          F5          D5        G5  ( G5 )
 Me I'm burning up, trying to get you to stay
                    D5                    
'Cause you know I'm right
               F5    G5         C5      
When I say the best, is yet to come
                 F5   G5           C5    G5 C5
And you know the best is still to come
