_ _ There [D] was a [Am] perfect [Em] time for us, it [D] seems so [C] long ago.
[G] [D] We were [G] so [D] naive [G] about the things we [C] both should know.
The [F#] best intentions [Em] come to nil, [Bm] love [C] has lost desire.
[G] [D] Slowly [E] years will show the [G] dying embers [C] of a fire.
_ [Em] There was a time when I loved you, and [C] a time when [G] I lied.
[Em] I put none up above you, [C] and I tried, yes [G] I tried,
to [Em] decide so [A] you could be free.
[C] And all of [D] the time I [G] was running [C] from me, I'd laid [D] down my life [G] if you'd asked [C] let it be.
_ [D] _ There [Em] was a time.
_ To _ _ _ [F#] look at all the [C] years gone by, and made mistakes it's true.
[G] It's [D] always [G] just the [D] little things [G] remind me [C] of you.
[F#] All too often [C] I will sit and [D] wonder [C] where I've been.
[G] For [D] every [C] time [D] I looked at [G] you, you're thinking [C] of him.
[Em] There was a time I respected [C] you, there were [G] times when I cried.
[Em] And when I was expected [C] to, I would stand at [G] your side.
And [Em] you asked would I [A] do it again, I [C] would tell you [D] the truth, [G] look you straight [C] in your eyes.
I'd say [D] the most [G] would think [C] me insane, say [D] though I [G] have nothing [C] to gain.
[D] Yeah.
_ _ Yeah.
There [Em] was a time _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [Bm] _ [F#] _ [Em] _ _
[F#] _ _ [Em] Think of when I lied for you. _
[Bm] _ [F#] _ [Em] _ _ [F#] _ _ [Em] Think of when I cried for you.
_ [F#] _ [Em] _ _
_ _ And you know I would have died for you.
[Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ There was a time when I loved you, [C] and a time [G] when I lied.
[Em] There were none of the bullying, [C] and for you I'd have [G] died.
[Em] But the big wheel [A] turns at last, [D] when all my [G] emotions were [C] tied up with you.
My hopes and [G] my dreams could [C] never win through, the [D] path has been [G] cleared, [C] now I'm free and few.
