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

[Bm] [Em]
There was a time when I loved you.
[C] And a time when I [F#m] lied.
[Em] There was none up above you.
[C] And for you [G] I'd have died.
[Em] Let the big [A] wheel turns at last.
When all [D] my emotions were tied [C] up with you.
My hopes [D] and my dreams could [C] never win through.
The path has been cleared, now I'm free of you.
[D]
Now [B] is my time.
