[INTRO]
[Am] [F] [Am] [G/B] [F]
[Am] [F] [G/B] [G]

[VERSE]
[N.C.]When we were [Am]young, how we could [F]fly
How we could [G]float along like summer winds and [C]touch the sky [G/B]
The world was [Am]ours, and how we [F]dreamed
Our lives were [G]intertwined forever so it [C]seemed

[VERSE]
We made our [Em]plans, I'd be a [F]painter or a poet
Live in [G]Paris, in a [C]cheap hotel or garret
And you would [Am]be my [Dm]everything, my [G]Muse
Too [C]wonderful [G/B]to [Am]lose
When we were [Dm]young, so very [G]young [E7]

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[E7] [Am] [F] [Am] [F]

[VERSE]
[N.C.]It could have [Am]been, but so it [F]goes
It's the [G]mystery of life nobody ever [C]knows
No "[G/B]second [Am]shows", no "once a[F]gain"
We only [G]turn a fleeting glance to what was [C]then

[BRIDGE]
One small [F]note of regret
It could have [G]been and yet
We kind of [C]lost our way
From [B7]day to day
The years just [C]faded away
They had no [Am]time to stay
Time will not [G]wait for [F]lovers' [E7]fanciful dreams

[INSTRUMENTAL]
[Am] [F] [Am] [F]

[VERSE]
[N.C.]When we were [Am]young, how we could [F]fly
How we could [G]float along like summer winds and [C]touch the sky [G/B]
The world was [Am]ours, and how we [F]dreamed
Our lives were [G]intertwined forever so it [C]seemed
Our lives were [F]intertwined for[E7]ever - when we were [Am]young [F] [Am]
