D (xx0232@1)          G5 (355xxx@1)      D (xx0232@1)         A (x02220@1)D (xx0232@1)                  G5 (355xxx@1)             DThere (xx0232@1)was a time the fire was burning bright,
D (xx0232@1)                G5 (355xxx@1)           D (xx0232@1) 
And everything was shining in the light,
D (xx0232@1)          Bm (x24432@1)     F#m (244222@1)  Bm (x24432@1)          F#m (244222@1)But when the heart is cold, together we're alone,
F#m (244222@1)        Em (022000@1)       DThinking (xx0232@1)of reasons to stay away;

D (xx0232@1)                   G5 (355xxx@1)            DThere (xx0232@1)was a time that love was in our bed,
D (xx0232@1)          G5 (355xxx@1)          DEternity (xx0232@1)in every word we said,
D (xx0232@1)        Bm (x24432@1)      F#m (244222@1)      Bm (x24432@1)        F#mBut (244222@1)when desire has gone, it's hard to carry on,
F#m (244222@1)             Em (022000@1)                           AGoing (x02220@1)through the motions, when there's nothing there;

G (320003@1)                           AYou (x02220@1)have got my heart, and all I want from you,
G (320003@1)                           AIs (x02220@1)just a kiss before we say goodbye;

A (x02220@1)        D (xx0232@1)          Bm (x24432@1)           Em (022000@1)           D (xx0232@1) AAnd (x02220@1)let me keep my memories of all the times we were amazing,
A (x02220@1)        D (xx0232@1)          Bm (x24432@1)    Em (022000@1)       A (x02220@1)     DAnd (xx0232@1)I will keep in memories the best that love can be;

D (xx0232@1)                 G5 (355xxx@1)           DThere (xx0232@1)was a time we had so much to say,
D (xx0232@1)                G5 (355xxx@1)        DTogether (xx0232@1)at the ending of the day,
D (xx0232@1)          Bm (x24432@1)  F#m (244222@1)    Bm (x24432@1)              F#mBut (244222@1)when the only words are all the ones that hurt,
F#m (244222@1)   Em (022000@1)               ATry (x02220@1)to remember the way we were;

G (320003@1)                           A (x02220@1)
Take the past and hold it like a photograph,
G (320003@1)                           A'Cos (x02220@1)it's the only way to say goodbye;

A (x02220@1)         D (xx0232@1)            Bm (x24432@1)             Em (022000@1)           D (xx0232@1)AAnd (x02220@1)we will keep these memories of all the times we were amazing,

    Em (022000@1)       A (x02220@1)     DThe (xx0232@1)best that love can be;
