[Eb] [Bb]
[F] [Gm] [Dm]
[F]
[Bb] Nothing [F] is so good it [Bb] lasts eternally
[F] [Gm] Perfect situations [Bb] [Eb] must go wrong
[Bb] But this [F] has never yet [Eb] prevented me
[Bb] [Cm] From wanting far [Bb] too much [Eb] for far [F] too long
[Ebm] [Bb] Looking back [F] I could have done [Dm] it differently
[Gm] Want a few [Dm] more moments who [Eb] can [Bb] tell
But it [F] took time to [Eb] understand the [Bb] man
[Eb] Now at least [Bb] I know [Eb] I know
Wasn't it [Bb] good?
Wasn't it [Eb] fine?
Isn't it [Ebm] madness?
He can be [Bb] fine
[Gb] [C] [Bb] But in him [F] he needs a little bit [Gm] more than [C]
before
[Bb] He [F] needs his fantasy [Eb] and freedom
[Bb] [C] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] No one in [F] your life is with [Bb] you constantly
[F] [Bb] No one is completely on [Eb] your side
[Bb] And though [F] I'm [Eb] with him
[Bb] [Eb] Still the gap [Bb] between [Eb] us is too wide
[Ebm] [Bb] Looking back [F] I could have played it [Bb] differently
[Dm] [Gm] Lying about [Dm] the man
[Eb] [Bb] But I [F] was so [Eb] much younger then
[Bb] [Cm] Now at least [Bb] I know [Eb] I know him well
Wasn't it [Bb] good?
Wasn't it [Eb] fine?
Isn't it [C] madness?
[Ebm] He can be [Bb] mine
Didn't I [E] know [C] how it would [Gm] go
If I knew from the [C] start
[F] Why am I falling?
[C] [Bb] Wasn't [Eb] it good?
Wasn't [Ebm] it madness?
He can be [Bb] mine
[Gb] [C] [Bb] [F] He needs
[Gm] [C] [Bb] security
He [F] needs his fantasy [Eb] and freedom
Took [Gm] some [Ebm] time
[Bb] [C] [Cm] [F]
