Written in the stars

G                   C                 G    Bm
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Em                  C              G          D
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
    G                     C                        G Bm
А lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
        Em                  G                    C                           
You think of me or speak of me or wonder what befell
       Am                                   D
The someone you once loved so long ago so well

G                     C                  G     Bm
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffle by
Em             C                G           D
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
G                    C              G      Bm
Every moment of my life from now until I die
Em                 G                              C                   
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
   Am                                          D
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand

        G
Is it written in the stars
            Em
Are we paying for some crime
            C
Is that all that we are good for
           D
Just a stretch of mortal time

      G
Is this God's experiment
     Em
In which we have no say
      C
In which we're given paradise
        D
But only for a day

G                   C                     G     Bm
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
Em              G                 C              Bm
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide
G                   C                      G   Bm
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Em                    G                                  C
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned
Am                                                D
What it is to be in love and have that love returned

        G
Is it written in the stars
            Em
Are we paying for some crime
            C
Is that all that we are good for
           D
Just a stretch of mortal time

      G
Is this God's experiment
     Em
In which we have no say
      C
In which we're given paradise
        D
But only for a day
