GAm I keep on asking myself why, EB7 Just when we learn to live we die CDG And all our memories have crumble into dust CDG We simply do the things we do because we must
CDB7Em Trying hard to keep the good times, hoping we’ll forget the bad times CGDG Wondering if we’ll ever be together again
Chorus: GAm Think of me, think of you, think of our life together DG And you’ll see that the two of us could live together G7C May our days be enough, may they last forever CmGDG Think of me, think of you, think of us
It seems a thousand years have passed Since the day I saw you last And all the times between I never let you down I never doubted that some day you’d came around
To think in the way that I do, hoping that some day I’d see you Trying hard to bring us back together again
