G D Am
I could have treated you better
G D Am
But you couldn't have treated me worse

Be the means to an end

When the last word has been spoken
G D Am
And we've beared witness to the final setting sun
G D Am
All that shall remain is a token
G D Am
Of what we've said and done

When all we've had has been forsaken

That's the sound of a heart taken

This may be the last time I see you
Forgive me for holding you close

This may be the last time I see you
But if you keep me in your heart
Together we shall be eternal
If you believe
We shall never part
