Intro: G C Em D G C Em D
G D
Promises are hard to keep
Em C Em
She falls in love three times a week
Em D C
And when she falls it’s always deeper
D
Than the time before
G D
Easier said and harder done
Em D Em
To love one only, only one
Em D
Sometimes head and heart succumb
C D
To heaven in the making
ref.:
G C Em D
And we fall, after being warned and told
G C Em D
After all, the days and nights of hot and cold
G C Em D G
Knowing calls for closing eyes and healing words
Em D
I’ll love you forever
G D
Beholding to the heart in dreams
Em D Em
We fall in love with love, it seems
Em D
Believing in those movie scenes
C D
And the happily ever after
G D
Well some go on and some remain
Em C Em
In the winning losing loving game
Em D
And who we hurt in love’s name
C D
It haunts us in our dreaming
ref.:
G C Em D
And we fall, after being warned and told
G C Em D
After all, the days and nights of hot and cold
G C Em D G
Knowing calls for closing eyes and healing words
Em D
I’ll love you forever
G D
Through the door and down the aisle
Em D
Through the mind’s eye the years and miles
Em D
And tell me dear, do you still smile
C D G C Em D G C Em D
’Cause this is how you’ve spent your life tonight
G C Em D
And we fall
G C Em D
Over and over we fall
ref.:
G C Em D
And we fall, after being warned and told
G C Em D
After all, the days and nights of hot and cold
G C Em D G
Knowing calls for closing eyes and healing words
Em D
I’ll love you forever
