Intro: C5    G5   C5    A5    F5
 
          C5                          G5     C5
Did I lose your love a long time ago
            A5                          F5
Or did I just wear it out? baby I don't know
 

C5   G5    C5    A5    F5
 
C5                                             G5                C5
seems like anymore we're not on the same page
A5                          F5
In the same book, or on the same stage 
                  

C5              G5          C5
We say the words, but they feel all wrong
            A5                      F5
Like a happy blues, like a sad love song
F5                                E5           A5
How two people can bow and scrape
                   F5                      G5
For every shred of tenderness 

CHORUS:
G5                             C5    
Can love stand the test
      F5              G5
Of times that surround us
A5                         G5
Memories that astound us
               F5
Joy and happiness
G5                C5
Can love stand the test?
 

G5    C5    A5    F5

C5                                              G5      C5
A long time ago, or was it just yesterday
                       A5                           F5
why would we fall out of love? Baby you can say?
C5              G5      C5
Don't look at me like I'm stranger now
A5                                              F5
Have I changed that much? Baby tell me how 


F5                                E5           A5
How two people can bow and scrape
                   F5                      G5
For every shred of tenderness 

CHORUS
G5                            C5    
Can love stand the test
      F5               G5
Of times that surround us
A5                         G5
Moments that astound us
               F5
Joy and happiness
G5                C5
Can love stand the test?
 

G5    C5    A5    F5    G5   C5   G5    A5    F5    G5   A5  E5 

F5                                 E5          A5
We said forever, for always for good
              F5                           G5
But the years were not impressed 


G5                            C5    
Can love stand the test
      F5             G5
Of times that surround us
A5                              G5
Moments that astound us


G5                            C5    
Can love stand the test
      F5              G5
Of times that surround us
A5                          G5
Moments that astound us
                F5             G5
Joy and happiness
                F5              G5
Joy and happiness
                F5               G5      C5
Joy and happiness
